RB Leipzig remains three points clear at the top of the table after another win. Both teams were in great form ahead of this match, so we expected and got a close contest.
A very questionable penalty was awarded to Leipzig to give them an amazing start to the match. The resulting goal gave Leipzig the lead for about 30 minutes before Saed Kolasinac scored to level it up for Schalke 04.
Two minutes into the second half, Saed Kolasinac canceled his equalizing goal for Schalke 04 after he headed the ball into his own net to give RB Leipzig the winning goal.
Emil Forsberg’s whipped cross into the box was too powerful to be re-directed away from goal. Kolasinac’s failed attempt to head the ball out of the danger zone was how Schalke lost ended their streak of twelve undefeated matches in all competitions.
