RB Leipzig :
What was a football bite this past weekend? The top game in Dortmund had everything the football heart desires. Goals, emotions, exclusions and grandiose individual actions. In the end a 3: 2 away win for the guests on the scoreboard gave Borussia Dortmund the first home game in the Bundesliga since 41 games. Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl after the game: “What we have done here, where no one won for two and a half years, was sensational, incomprehensible. I am very, very proud. We went all-in, wanted to see a cool performance. ”
In the Bundesliga, however, the Leipzig team shortened the gap to Dortmund, which still lead the table with 19 points, to only three points and now occupy third place. While the offensive is appealing, there are still some construction sites in the defense. The Bulls played only once (the 2-0 win against Hamburger SV on the third day). For the game in Dortmund coach Hasenhüttl Stefan Ilsanker in the internal defense, but this consideration did not really pay off. Above all, the Austrians did not have their best day and looked very well at the first goal and flew in the second half after two yellow cards within just two minutes from the place. While there is no salvation in sight on the defensive, the already well-running offensive play will soon be reinforced by the top goalkeeper Timo Werner. Against Dortmund, he was already sitting on the bench, but he was not used. Against FC Porto it could now come to his comeback. Especially in the Champions League it takes real knackers, as the last defeat of the Leipzig against Besiktas in Istanbul showed. Although the Germans had more of the game, they did not manage to move the ball into the goal.
FC Porto:
While in most European leagues on the weekend the league day started again, there was a trophy in Portugal. On Friday, the 26-time Portuguese champions FC Porto were able to shoot at a six-goal home club in the Champions League in Leipzig. In the league, everything is going according to plan. Porto are leading the table after eight games, with only one point lost on the last matchday at Sporting Lisbon, with 22 points. The outstanding scoring of 19-3 is also impressive.
The Champions League season started for FC Porto but less well. In the home game against Besiktas Istanbul, most fans expected a home win, but in the end there was a 3-1 defeat on the paper. The reasons for this are diverse. The optical superiority could not be converted into goals, since among other things the top scorer of the Portuguese, Vincent Aboubakar, was missing. On the other hand, the Turks also played a classic game and were efficient in the exploitation of the chances. However, a response followed the French champions AS Monaco in their next match. In the new edition of the 2004 Champions League final, the result was the same as 13 years before. As surprising as the opening match against Besiktas was, so surprisingly clear the threesome at Monaco with the 3: 0 away. Goalkeeper Vincent Aboubakar once again showed how important he is for the team of coach Sergio Conceicao. With his goals in the 31st and 69th minute, he led the team’s descent. Miguel Layun finished in the 89th minute. Even in the game in Leipzig the hopes of the Portuguese rest primarily on the 25-year-old Cameroonian.
