Leipzig surge after half‑time to dominate Mainz in women's Bundesliga

RB Leipzig’s women’s side secured their second league victory of the season, beating the Schlusslicht Mainz, officially FSV Mainz 05, 5‑0 after a goalless first half in the Frauen‑Bundesliga. The win lifts Leipzig into the mid‑table and marks a decisive response to the early pressure.

First‑half stalemate

The visitors opened the match with sustained pressure, but the Ball was repeatedly cleared before reaching the goal. Leipzig’s attacks lasted 45 minutes without a breakthrough, and the half finished level.

Emilía Ásgeirsdóttir’s early shots went wide, and Delice Boboy’s header struck the right post after a right‑wing cross. Mainz’s Therese Simonsson struck in the 40th minute, but her effort was knocked away before crossing the line.

Second‑half onslaught

The second half began with Leipzig raising the tempo, quickly creating quality chances. In the 49th minute Simonsson delivered a cross from the right that Boboy met with a headed finish, opening the scoring.

Alieke Tuin doubled the lead three minutes later with a 23‑metre volley that slipped under the bar. Annabel Schasching then curled a free‑kick into the top‑left corner for 3‑0, a strike that effectively settled the contest.

She added a penalty in the 83rd minute after a handball in the box, and Sara Pusztai completed the rout in the 90th minute with a close‑range finish following a failed defensive clearance.

The 5‑0 victory moves Leipzig into the Bundesliga mid‑table, while Mainz remain at the bottom with no points. Sie wollen aktuelle Informationen aus Ihrer Region, die für Sie relevant sind?
