Augsburg – Borussia Dortmund 1: 1
Although the Yellows have scored nine goals in the last two league games, they will soon want to forget the rest of their games in February. After a 5: 2 loss to Leverkusen and relegation from the Europa League against Rangers, the Schwarzgelben have lost two more points and are now already eight points away from the leading Bayern Munich.
Thurgan Hazar provided a wonderful personal operation in the 35th minute after receiving the ball on the wing, knocking down two defensive players and kicking to the far corner. Unfortunately for the Belgian, his brilliance was not enough either, as the host returned to the game in the 78th minute after a shot from Noah Sarnern’s five-yard box. For the host it is a first point after two losses, and now it is equal to Hertha Berlin in a place that leads to tests against relegation.

The bulls’ chase for the coveted fourth place continued, as tonight they qualified for it with a third consecutive league victory. The guest had a hard time against the opponent who only two weeks ago scored a four for Bayern Munich, but managed to come out with three points thanks to a goal by its star this season – Christopher Anconco. The Frenchman, who came in as a substitute in the 58th minute, scored the only goal of the match in the 82nd minute, and in 24 league games he has already scored 14 goals and nine assists. Leipzig is now in fourth place leading to the Champions League, but with the same number of points as Freiburg and Hoffenheim attached to it from below.
After beating Real Sociedad in the Europa League playoffs, R.B. Leipzig will meet Spartak Moscow in the quarterfinals of the factory.
