It would only take nine minutes for the Swede to be listed in the target log.
Dane Yussuf Poulsen was demolished in the penalty area by Lyon's goalkeeper and after a cross-examination Leipzig was sentenced to a penalty. Forsberg took care of it and placed it icy to the right of the goalkeeper, who went the other way.
Leipzig would also make it 2-0 via penalty, but this time it was Timo Werner who got the chance and managed it well. Lyon picked up 2-2, giving them a ticket to the playoffs.
Emil Forsberg's fine fall continues, where he has now scored eight goals in 18 matches, with all leagues and cups included. Two of them came in the previous Champions League round against Benfica, both of which were made on stoppage time and meant the team was ready for the playoffs.
