In front of a sold-out crowd of 47,800 at the Red Bull Arena, Assan Ouédraogo gave Leipzig the lead with a superb long-range goal (63rd minute). After a corner kick, Austrian Xaver Schlager made it 2-0 (80). In both halves there was discussion about possible foul penalties – but in both cases referee Martin Petersen allowed play to continue.
