During Saturday night's match, the "Leipzig" team unexpectedly lost 2-0 to the Bielefeld "Arminia" club. In the first half, "Leipzig" created several dangerous opportunities but failed to convert them. Meanwhile, the visitors scored a goal in the 45th minute, but it was disallowed due to offside. In the second half, "Arminia" caused a sensation. In the 57th minute, Janni-Luca Serra was the first to rush to the loose ball and send it into the empty net. In the 70th minute, the visitors made their situation worse. Frank Willenborg committed a serious foul against his opponent and after reviewing the moment, the referee showed him a red card. However, even with a numerical disadvantage, the "Arminia" players managed to score a second goal. After a precise pass from a teammate, Masaya Okugawa's shot into the bottom corner beat Peter Gulacsi and the score became 2-0. This result means that "Leipzig" is currently in ninth place in the table and could drop to tenth after this round. Meanwhile, for the "Arminia" team, this is a very important victory, as they are now only two points away from the safety zone. In other matches of the night, Monchengladbach's "Borussia" suffered a painful defeat in the away match, conceding a late equalizer and drawing 1-1 with "Hoffenheim." The visitors, who have lost four consecutive matches in the local championship, conceded the equalizing goal in the 90+1st minute. The Monchengladbach team has played one draw and lost four times in the last 5 matches in the championship, conceding a total of 18 goals. Such form may mean that coach Adi Hutter will have to say goodbye to his job in the team.
