First-Half Dominance Thwarted by Grabara

RB Leipzig exerted control throughout the opening 45 minutes, creating several opportunities but were time and again denied by Kamil Grabara. The Wolfsburg goalkeeper pulled off crucial saves, including efforts from Diomande after a narrow-angled strike, an overhead attempt by Harder, and a close-range shot from Gruda. In contrast, Wolfsburg’s sole notable attempt in the first half came via a long-range effort from Christian Eriksen, which was comfortably dealt with by the home keeper.

Second-Half Action and All Goals

The intensity picked up following the interval, with Grabara continuing to stand firm for the visitors. Wolfsburg seized the initiative on a counterattack; Mohamed Amoura opened the scoring in the 52nd minute after being played in by Dagim. Leipzig responded through an error from the visiting goalkeeper, who inadvertently gifted the ball to Gruda. Gruda then found Diomande, who slotted home for the equaliser.

Wolfsburg shortly regained their advantage with a move down the left led by Vavro. His breakthrough allowed substitute Mattias Svanberg to find the net, putting his side 2-1 ahead. The hosts, however, rescued a share of the spoils when Gruda, from the edge of the box, unleashed a precise effort in the 89th minute to level the match.
