RB Leipzig

2-0 Benfica

Yet another defensive error leads to a 1v1. Proper Everton’d this home game yet again. Certainly proves the difference between the Bundesliga and elite competitions though.

Keeper swap after Gulacsi takes a blow to the head.

 

[Nymzee]

Absolute carbon copy of the Lyon game this. Completely abysmal performance from everyone tonight; heads dropped after the first goal. Wouldn’t even want to see the stay count for misplaced passes. Young team and it shows on nights like this when you need a bit of experience.

 

[Nymzee]

Saracchi off for the free-scoring Schick... cough.

 

[Nymzee]

Operation: Kitchen Sink in full flow with 20 mins left. Only one way that’s going to go.

 

[Nymzee]

Wow, Raul de Tomas almost scores an amazing goal from the half-way line but an amazing diving save knocks it for a corner.

 

[Nymzee]

Penalty to RBL.

Schick with a beautiful chest and turn in the box gets dragged back. Grabbing a goal here helps with the head-to-head if it ends 2-1.

2-1 (Forsberg)

[Nymzee]

Still another 4-5 mins added time though so we shall see...

2-2 FT

After 12 mins of stoppage time ref finally blows his whistle and RBL make the Round of 16 for the first time in the clubs short history. Really crap game till about 75 minutes but impressed they came back to draw as they just haven’t been able to do that this season.
