Frankfurt presses – Boboy shows nerves from the point
The guests from Hesse dominated the first half, had more possession of the ball and deservedly took the lead through Laura Freigang (24th). Leipzig was waiting for a counterattack and missed a great chance to equalize shortly after falling behind when Delice Boboy missed a penalty kick (35th).

Even after the break, Frankfurt got off to a better start and increased to 2-0 through Erëleta Memeti (48th). But Leipzig struck back immediately: Lisa Baum shortened the score (53′) with a remarkable long-range shot and initiated the hosts’ pressing phase.
Krug lets RB celebrate late
RB now increased the pressure and were unlucky in the 85th minute when Marleen Schimmer failed on the aluminum. In stoppage time, Leipzig finally rewarded themselves for their effort: After a confusing scene in the penalty area, Victoria Krug (90th + 4th) pushed the ball over the line for the celebrated equalizer, giving the hosts a small breakthrough.
