In the first match with coach Manuel Baum, an own goal by Can Bozdogan (minute 31) and the blows of Angelino (35 °), Willi Orban (45 ° + 2) and Marcel Halstenberg (80 °, penalty) made the 4-0. hence Schalke’s third clear defeat in the third Bundesliga game. With the horrifying balance of zero points and 1:15 goals, Schalke 04 remains at the bottom. Leipzig initially took over the top of the table with their second win of the season.
In his debut on the sidelines, Baum had changed teams to four positions after a week of training. In addition to Ozan Kabak, suspended for five games, Sebastian Rudy, Nassim Boujellab and Benito Raman were no longer in the starting eleven after the 3-1 victory against Werder Bremen. At Favorit Leipzig, Baum sent his team onto the field in a defensive direction.
Schalke stable until his own goal
That seemed to work quite well at first. Even when Suat Serdar was injured early on (21), Schalke remained stable: Leipzig was initially unable to create compelling scenes due to their optical superiority. An own goal finally showed the way of the game. Serdar Bozdogan’s substitute faced Emil Forsberg in a clean-up attempt on his own net (31).
Suddenly the guests disconnected. Angelino was as criminally free with his header to make it 2-0 (31st), as Orban was with his header to 3-0 (45th + 2). In the middle, Amadou Haidara received another blow to the foot (43). Schalke did not get a single shot at the opponent’s goal in the first round.
Rönnow comes for the ferryman
And in the second run it did not improve. Baum brought in a new striker in Vedad Ibisevic, and Frederik Rönnow, who had just signed, replaced Ralf Fährmann, who was ill according to Schalke. However, Schalke remained harmless on offense and shaky on defense, except for a shot from Bozdogan (54th).
The hosts passed the crosses several times, narrowly missed or missed at Rönnow, such as Forsberg with a shot attempt (63rd) or Christopher Nkunku with a free kick (67th). The last point of Leipzig’s well-deserved victory in front of 8,500 spectators was Halstenberg, who converted a penalty caused by Matija Nastasic (80th).
