Emil Forsberg has a chance to put Leipzig 1-0 up in the 17th minute when the referee awarded a penalty after Koan Casteels brought down Timo Werner. Forsberg who scored a penlaty already this season, missed the penalty to give the home side a lifeline. However the Bundesliga debutants will not be denied as Forsberg redeemed himself when he scored a goal in the 70th minute.
