At 22:30 Beijing time on December 18, the 17th round of the Bundesliga ushered in a match, Leipzig faced Bielefeld at home. Leipzig has a somewhat poor record this season, winning only 6 of the first 16 rounds and losing 6. Leipzig have won only 1 of their last 5 league games and lost 3. The last match was supposed to be a good chance for Leipzig to win, after all, the opponent was a relegation team like Augsburg, but Leipzig only got a draw. This time Leipzig once again against the relegation team, the opponent is Bielefeld, and it is a home game, Leipzig's minimum goal should be to win the opponent, but Leipzig messed up again, 0-2 defeat, burst out of the big cold.
Leipzig were lined up in a 352 formation for the match. Gulasic served as the starting goalkeeper. Mujelle, Orban and Gvadior partnered at 3 defenders. Henricis, Fosberg, Campoir, Sobosloy and Angelinho make up the 5 midfield. The attacking combination of Andre Silva and Nkunku strikes together. Bielefeld, on the other hand, was in the 422 formation, with Kruger and Serra at the top.
Shortly after the game started, Fossberg slipped and injured while grabbing the ball, couldn't hold on and had to be replaced. Leipzig is really a bad teacher. Taylor Adams came off the bench. As the game progressed, Leipzig gradually took control of the situation, but under the dense defense of the opponents, there were not many opportunities created. In the 11th minute, Sobosloy attempted a long-range shot that was deflected just a little.
In the 20th minute, Mujelle burst into the box with the ball and was given the opportunity to face the goalkeeper, but he did not choose to shoot, but crossed, only to be blocked by the opponent's falling shovel, missing a good opportunity. In the 39th minute, relying on a free-kick opportunity in front of the field, Nkunku's header in front of the goal was ridiculously high. In the 44th minute, Okukawa also scored, but was blown off because of offside. At half-time, the score was still 0-0! Leipzig had 76 percent possession in the first half and 0 shots on target on target. Bielefeld, on the other hand, had just one shot on goal in the first half and failed to score.
The second half was easy to fight again. In the 50th minute, Henrichs' header was headed in front of goal and the goalkeeper took the ball off. In the 56th minute, Leipzig conceded the ball! Serra scored in front of goal and Serra knelt down in excitement to celebrate, a goal that put Leipzig in a difficult situation. In the 69th minute, Cross stepped on a foul that left him straight off with a red card. Bielefeld had to play 1 less man. This is a great thing for Leipzig. However, Leipzig's poor defence was punctured again five minutes later. Okukawa also dribbled into the penalty area with a low shot. The Japanese star's goal left Leipzig desperate. In the end, Leipzig was beaten, losing 2-0 to Bielefeld, a big upset.
