Four days before receiving Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Leipzig is not reassured.
Serious but feverish defensively, Jesse Marsch's players were hooked by Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1) this Saturday and missed a great opportunity to move up the standings.
They remain in eighth place in the Bundesliga, and are 10 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich.
A goal conceded in the last seconds
Yet Leipzig had done the job.
After Yussuf Poulsen's opener from a corner (35th), the future opponent of the club from the capital recited his ranges, against a team from Frankfurt grouped together in its part of the field and inoffensive.
Confident and very enterprising, Christopher Nkunku's teammates multiplied the assaults on Kevin Trapp's cages (14 shots, six on target) without ever realizing their domination.
Indeed, Dominik Szoboszlai (36th, 52nd, 79th), Christopher Nkunku (59th, 68th) and Emil Forsberg (83rd, 88th) did not succeed in deceiving the vigilance of the former goalkeeper of the PSG.
