Europa League: Leipzig misses victory in the quarter-final

RB Leipzig Bang for his dream of the Europa League title. The 1: 1 against Atalanta Bergamo allows all opportunities for the second leg.

The players lowered disappointed the heads, but coach Domenico Tedesco could smile after the final whistle again. At RB Leipzig, they did not really know how they should classify the thoroughly flattering 1: 1 (0: 1) in the quarterfinal first leg of the Europa League against the Italian first division atalanta Bergamo. RB had played weakly - in the wild beat replacement of the second half, but at least damage limitation operated.

However, it is also clear: In the second leg in a week in Lombardy, RB for the semi-final ticket must be offensive as defensively. "We knew that Atalanta is a very, very strong team and that it is not easy," Captain Peter Gulacsi said: "We do everything to collect in the next round."

The outstanding guest striker Luis Muriel (17th) had taken the lead tie of Serie A to the lead, marriage RB by an own goal of Davide Zappacosta (58.) but still halfway. Shortly before the compensation, striker Andre Silva had a foul feet (58.). Christopher Nkunku had been brought into the penalty area. Leipzig is therefore unbeaten since eleven competitive games. Dominik Szoboszlai headed the ball to the crossbar (82nd).

For the Tedesco born in southern Italy, it was a special game before 36,029 spectators. "I'm really looking forward to it," the 33-year-old had said before his first competitive game against an Italian team. Due to the enormous meaning also for the club, the coach renounced a great rotation, only the international Benjamin Henrichs and Lukas Klostermann moved new to the starting eleven.

But these two professionals looked bad at 0: 1. With his explosive approach to the penalty area, scorer Muriel left both Henrichs and Klostermann seemingly effortless, goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi was powerless against the massive shot.

RB Leipzig leaves triple chance

The Leipzig, who had a freiless in the second round because of the sanction against the Russian representative Spartak Moscow, were visibly impressed by the residue. Only two minutes after his hit Muriel sniffed the RB defensive again and missed the 0: 2 just scarce. But this woke up the German vice master, but on, Andre Silva set a shot to the post a sign (24th).

But Atalanta, who has won only two of the past ten games in the league, retreated deeper into one's half and made the rooms very tight. Leipzig was difficult to find gaps and to prevail against the physically robust guests in two bunks. In addition, the defense was susceptible to counter. Shortly before the half, the Tedesco team was lucky that Mario Pasalic made only angle to the outer post.

After the side change, the Leipzig significantly increased pressure and came to opportunities, which also led to compensation. But the team remained prone to tempo standings. Szoboszlais header and a spectacular triple chance at the beginning of the injection time RB could even bring the victory.
