The RB Leipzig squad concluded their first match in the German league after the international break with a draw against the sixteenth-placed Mainz, who were in a submissive position throughout the entire encounter, but the visitors were kept alive mainly by the exceptional performance of goalkeeper Robin Zentner, who made a total of nine saves in the match.
For a change, Kevin Kampl started in the starting eleven this time, while Benjamin Šeško was on the bench. In the first half, no goals were in sight, with RB Leipzig coming closest to scoring just before halftime when their goal was disallowed for offside.
Benjamin Šeško got his chance in the 68th minute, replacing Lois Opendo, and had a beautiful opportunity four minutes before the end of regular time, but Zentner saved his shot.
RB Leipzig players will be back in action next Saturday when they visit Freiburg.
