Leipzig wins its first C1 match of the season against Sporting – C1 – J7 – RB Leipzig-Sporting (2-1)

But: Šeško (19^e) and Poulsen (78^e) for the Germans // Gyökeres (75^e) for the Portuguese.

The two clubs faced each other for the first time in their lives, and it was quite pleasant: two teams of the same level, races, and a victory for Leipzig (2-1). It saves the honor of the Germans, already eliminated from the Champions League, and complicates Sporting’s qualification. Provisionally 18^esthe Portuguese lose for the third time in a row in C1, which is good for PSG. They will play their European future against Bologna.

Šeško et Gyökeres décisifs

Like three times this season in the Champions League, Leipzig opened the scoring. For once, it works for him. Benjamin Šeško first takes a cross from David Raum to open the scoring (1-0, 19^e). Entered at 55^eVictor Gyökeres did his homework and stole the show from the Slovenian: a rounded call, a right-foot ball drive to fix Willy Orban and a left-foot missile into the top corner (1-1, 75^e).

Yussuf Poulsen got through a mess to regain the advantage just afterwards (3-1, 78^e) and offer Leipzig its first victory in C1 this season. It avoids the worst result of a German club in the Champions League since the course of Bayer Leverkusen version 2002-2003. Sporting won two corners in added time, Daniel Bragança putting his head over for the last action.
