RB Leipzig lost their second game in the group stage of the Champions League.
The team of coach Julian Nagelsmann lost at Manchester United 0-5.
Spectators were not allowed in the stadium.
Leipzig started the game without captain Marcel Sabitzer, who recently suffered from a muscle injury.
The hosts, on the other hand, surprisingly did without striker Marcus Rashford in the starting line-up - and still started with the first chance of the game: Fred came to the end from a half-right position after a defended free kick, but RB keeper Peter Gulacsi cleared for a corner (6th) .
Greenwood hits - Upamecano cancels the offside
As a result, the game initially lacked pace.
There were also hardly any degrees.
Until the 21st minute: Paul Pogba played the ball into the barrel of 19-year-old Mason Greenwood, who finished flat and hit the right into the goal.
The video assistant checked - Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano had just picked up the offside.
The Leipziger tried with more possession of the ball to equalize.
The otherwise fast game hardly came into its own against the opponent's well-organized defense against counterattacks.
Goalkeeper David de Gea was not in serious danger until the break.
Leipzig pushes - Rashford hits three times
After the restart, Leipzig pushed even more forward, but also became significantly more susceptible to losing the ball.
Manchester United no longer limited themselves to defending, but also set dangerous counterattacks.
Greenwood missed his second goal (51st).
The fouls increased on both sides, as did the stoppages.
Leipzig lacked calm - the actions remained too imprecise.
Marcus Rashford, who came on as a substitute in the 63rd minute, finally made the decision in favor of Manchester - with a brace (74th / 78th).
Another review by the video referee was again without consequences.
Then Anthony Martial hit with a penalty (85.), before Rashford (90. + 2) set the final point again.
