In Leipzig, we witnessed the final act in Group G of the elite Champions League. Even before the last round, both Manchester City and Leipzig secured their spots in the round of 16. The latter’s colors were defended in today’s match by national team striker Benjamin Šeško and former international Kevin Kampl.
Šeško immediately drew attention by receiving a deep pass from Forsberg, dribbling in the penalty area, and then striking low into the far corner. However, even the slow-motion replay revealed that Šeško was in an offside position, which was later confirmed by the VAR room. The first half passed without major opportunities and ended with an unpopular 0-0 scoreline.
But in the second half, we didn’t have to wait long for Šeško’s goal. It was the 51st minute when he received a pass from Henrichs in the penalty area, evaded a defender, and converted it into a beautiful goal. The guests didn’t wait long either, as two minutes later, the score was leveled again. Ebrima Colley scored for the guests. The game intensified to the extent that in the 56th minute, we saw another goal. Kampl set it up, and after his pass, Emil Forsberg delighted the home fans. Šeško left the game in the 74th minute, while Kampl played the full 90 minutes. The Slovenians have recently been gathering crumbs.
Leipzig secured second place in Group G, which generally means a tougher task in the knockout stages. Second-placed teams in the round of 16 face the teams that topped their groups in the group stage.
