What a gala by Timo Werner (27)!
At Leipzig’s 3-2 win against Augsburg is the national player (57 international matches) the outstanding man. He is involved in all three RB goals, scoring two goals himself.
Leipzig star calls for help Suddenly worried about Kampl!
But at the Werner show, numerous seats in the arena remain empty. Reason: There are still Easter holidays in Saxony, and opponents Augsburg are not a crowd puller. Therefore, many season ticket holders preferred to stay at home. Officially, however, there were said to be 46,058 spectators in the stadium and only 1,000 seats remained empty.
Meanwhile, the RB fans present made a clear announcement, showing a poster with the inscription: “No Safespace for Nazis. M. Müller out of the ZS (Central Stadium; editor’s note).“
Background: Scandal singer Melanie Müller (34) was in Berlin (1-0) last week with her boyfriend Andreas Kunz in the Leipzig guest block. Kunz was wearing a jacket from a Nazi brand (Thor Steinar) and was expelled from the block. Clear sign: The Leipzig fans don’t want Müller, they don’t want to see them in their stadium.
Werner shoots Leipzig to victory with a brace
But before the big Werner gala, the game begins with a cold shower for RB. After Henrichs lost the ball, Iago has a lot of space on the left and plays perfectly in the middle, where Maier runs in and slams the ball under the bar – 0:1 (5th minute).
Werner then prepares Kampl’s equalizer (10′) and pulls off a brace within 3:30 minutes.
The striker first scores after Henrich’s template (32.) bottom left for guidance. Then Werner volleys the ball under the crossbar to make it 3:1 (35th). It is his 100th Bundesliga goal and his second brace this season (previously on Matchday 8 against Bochum).
Which: As always in cold temperatures, Werner plays with gloves until his lightning double pack. When he takes it off after almost 20 minutes, the striker’s goal knot bursts and he scores his eighth and nine goals of the season.
The Augsburg goal to make it 2: 3 by Vargas (82nd) comes too late.
With the victory, Leipzig has secured a place in the Champions League, even passed Union Berlin in third place by Sunday and is four points ahead of Freiburg. Augsburg, on the other hand, has to look down and is only five points ahead of the relegation place.
