FC Ingolstadt 04 1-0 RB Leipzig

Goals: 1-0 Roger (12')

Chasing their first home victory this season, Die Schanzer made the perfect start as Anthony Jung’s dangerous delivery into the Leipzig penalty area was headed home by Roger with twelve minutes on the clock. The goal seemed to spark Hasenhüttl’s charges into life, but when Marcel Halstenberg was presented with a rare sight of goal, the defender could only direct his effort wide of the far post.

Leipzig started the second half with greater urgency, and only a splendid save by Martin Hansen prevented Marcel Sabitzer from restoring parity eight minutes into the second half. Emil Forsberg spurned a glorious opportunity to earn the visitors a share of the spoils in the dying stages, but the visitors held on despite having Mathew Leckie sent off for a second bookable offence in second-half stoppage time.
