Against the extremely poisonous Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig makes a weak game.

Even the otherwise outstanding Nkunku cannot do anything against the TSG defense.

At 0: 1 goalkeeper Gulacsi fails.

Sinsheim - The series of seven Bundesliga games without defeat against a passionate TSG 1899 Hoffenheim has torn for RB Leipzig.

The team of coach Jesse Marsch was stopped for the first time with the well-deserved 0: 2 (0: 1) on Saturday in Sinsheim in their chase for the Champions League places.

The runner-up had to accept Diadie Samassékou's first goal for TSG in the 12th minute and disappointed across the board.

Munas Dabbur later made it 2-0 (68th).

Dortmund fails in the Bayern hunt in Leipzig

After the last four victories in a row, Dortmund leaves the field as a loser in Leipzig.

As a result, the gap to league leaders Bayern Munich is growing.

With this, Leipzig also messed up the dress rehearsal before the premier class game on Wednesday at Club Bruges.

The Hoffenheim team showed the “initial spark” hoped for by head coach Sebastian Hoeneß in what has been an unstable season so far.

For the first time this season, TSG was able to fully utilize the 30,150-seat arena, but only 13,233 people came.

However, it is questionable whether this permit will endure.

The 2G rule applied, only vaccinated and convalescent people were allowed and had to wear a mask.

The Leipzigers have to play their next league games on November 28th against Bayer Leverkusen and on December 11th against Mönchengladbach as well as the Champions League match on December 7th against Manchester City as ghost games: Saxony will be banned from next week in view of the rapidly increasing coronavirus Pay spectators in professional sport again.

The RB team had defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 before the international break and initially appeared accordingly self-confident.

The defenders Willi Orban and Lukas Klostermann were in the starting line-up after recovering from injuries - but looked puzzled after less than a quarter of an hour: Goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi dived under a Dennis Geiger corner and Samassékou, to his own surprise, headed in unhindered.

After three games without conceding a goal, this RB series was gone for now.

The Leipzig team, for whom André Silva stormed instead of Yussuf Poulsen, who had been out for a longer period, had so far failed to take advantage of some promising switching situations.

During the lively back and forth, the Hoffenheim team did not notice that scorer and top preparer Andrej Kramaric and playmaker Christoph Baumgartner were missing due to injury.

Georginio Rutter (15th) and David Raum (21st) missed the next big chances for the hosts against a suddenly intimidated opponent.

The RB offensive around Christopher Nkunku - to date with eleven goals this season across all competitions - hardly took place.

On the other side, Stefan Posch missed the 2-0 (35th) with a head.

Hoeneß acknowledged the power of Hoffenheim shortly before the break when Kevin Akpoguma cleared a ball on the corner flag with a clenched fist.

Leipzig was well served at the break.

Only 44 seconds after the restart, Rutter had a free run, but Gulacsi saved.

Shortly afterwards, the attacker headed just past the gate.

Leipzig brought a little more structure into play with the inclusion of Emil Forsberg - but did not create a single clear scoring chance in the second round.

Dabbur then scored the overdue and decisive 2-0 in Hoffenheim's fourth home win in a row.
