Bitter lesson for RB Leipzig's women: 0:5 against Bremen
RB Leipzig's women's footballers have once again paid the price in the Bundesliga. Coach Saban Uzun's team suffered a bitter 5-0 (0-3) defeat against Werder Bremen on Saturday. Saskia Matheis put the visitors from the north into the lead after just 60 seconds, before Sophie Weidauer (31) and Nina Lührßen (40) increased the lead before the break. Weidauer (81/86) struck twice again to mark the final score. It was the fifth defeat in seven games for the promoted side from Saxony and their fourth defeat in a row.
Leipzig got off to a miserable start against the fifth-placed team in the table. RB keeper Elvira Herzog cleared the ball straight into the feet of Saskia Matheis, who beat the outstretched goalkeeper with a well-judged shot from around 30 meters.
The Swiss international goalkeeper also looked unlucky when she conceded the second and third goals: Weidauer's shot from an acute angle (31st) went straight through her legs. When Lührßen made it 3-0, the direct free-kick from over 30 meters flew over Herzog and straight into the corner after a positioning error. Bremen continued to dominate the game after the changeover and increased their lead through the outstanding Weidauer (81st/86th).
