Leipzig (Germany) (AFP)
Leipzig lost the victory in additional time against the red lantern Paderborn (1-1) which deprives him of second provisional place on Saturday during the 30th day of the Bundesliga.
The team coached by Julian Nagelsmann has a fourth straight draw at home. It was a new opportunity that she wasted to overtake Dortmund, Bayern Munich's dolphin.
It owes its third place (59 pts) to the backhand of its pursuers Mönchengladbach (4th, 56 pts), beaten in Friborg Friday (1-0), and Leverkusen (5th, 56 pts) powerless against the Bavarian leader in the after- noon (4-2).
Leipzig however had the opportunities to take the three points, mandatory against an opponent almost condemned to relegation. But after the opening of the score by Patrik Schick (27th), star striker Timo Werner, whose press announced this week the transfer to Chelsea at the end of the season, missed big opportunities.
The German international missed the wide open goal in the 67th, then found the crossbar in the 89th.
Two minutes later, Christian Strohdiek equalized (90th + 2), taking a shot badly caught by goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.
The expulsion of French defender Dayot Upamecano (43rd) ended up being too heavy for Leipzig, who played ten for more than one period.
In a Bundesliga where the advantage of the field hardly exists any more since the resumption in camera in May, Leipzig goes to Hoffenheim next Friday. With the poster for the 33rd day in mind, scheduled for the weekend of June 20 against Borussia Dortmund.
