DFB POKAL FINAL
2022 DFB POKAL WINNERS : RB LEIPZIG
We knew there was going to be a new name to be engraved on the cup because Freiburg and RB Leipzig were both chasing their first major/top-flight title in their history.
A numerically disadvantaged RB Leipzig team fought from a goal down to get a ‘1-1’ draw that eventually forced a penalty kickoff after extra time.
Maxi Eggestein scored in the 19th minute to give Freiburg a first-half lead that was taken into the halftime break.
Marcel Halstenberg was sent off on a red card in the 57th minute while RB Leipzig was chasing a goal to even the score.
Christopher Nukunku scored about 20 minutes later for RB Leipzig to get even.
Both teams had their chances to win (even in extra time).
FREIBURG 1-1 RB LEIPZIG (2-4 pen)
All of RB Leipzig’s players converted their penalties into goals in the kickoffs (4).
Half of Freiburg’s players converted their penalties into goals in the kickoffs (2).
