Red Star Belgrade 1-2 RB Leipzig
In a thrilling encounter, RB Leipzig confirmed their place in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Crvena Zvezda. With this win and Manchester City’s simultaneous 3-0 victory over Young Boys, Leipzig secured their advancement to the next stage of the competition.
Early Dominance
From the outset, Leipzig set the tone for the match, putting immense pressure on Crvena Zvezda. In the eighth minute, Xavi displayed his skill and composure by dribbling his way into the Red Star’s box and expertly curling the ball past the Zvezda goalkeeper to give Leipzig an early lead.
Back-and-Forth Action
The match saw both sides creating quality scoring opportunities. Lois Openda attempted to dribble past the goalkeeper Omri Glazer but was denied, while at the other end, Janis Blaswich made a crucial save to keep Osman Bukari from leveling the score. This goal would have been disallowed for offside, preserving Leipzig’s lead.
Emil Forsberg had a golden opportunity to extend the lead but narrowly missed the target. The second half was a more open affair, with Crvena Zvezda playing more aggressively but failing to pose a significant threat. In contrast, Leipzig continued to press forward, with Benjamin Sesko’s long-range effort hitting the post and Openda being denied by the Zvezda goalkeeper.
Openda’s Clinical Finish
Leipzig’s persistence paid off in the 77th minute when Lois Openda was played through on goal by Xaver Schlager and clinically slotted the ball into the bottom left corner to make it 2-0. Despite the lead, the game was far from over, and Crvena Zvezda pressed forward.
Late Drama
In the 81st minute, Crvena Zvezda managed to pull one back when a dangerous ball into the Leipzig box deflected off Benjamin Henrichs and into the Leipzig goal. Blaswich made another crucial save from close range in the dying minutes to secure the three points for Leipzig.
