RB Leipzig were 1-0 up against Bayern Munich at half-time, but ended up losing 1-5 after a second-half collapse.
RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi expressed disappointment, saying the result did not reflect the balance of the match and that the team lost control and shape, while facing a counter-attacking opponent.
“The game was a lot more equal than the result shows. We lost a bit of control, our shape, and were taking too many risks, and we were up against a team that will punish you straight away on the counter. We didn't mark them enough for the last two goals,” Gulacsi said.
“We played a really strong first half and also came out well for the second half. After they equalised, it was an open game. I thought we did well even after they went 2-1 up, and had chances to come back into the game. After their third goal, we just opened up, and it was unnecessary and a bit disappointing from our side to concede another two goals. For the most part, we played a strong game, so it's disappointing to lose 5-1 in the end.”
When asked how the team can bounce back, Gulacsi replied: “We have a week now to prepare for our game against Heidenheim. We need to take three points there because the table is tight. We played a strong game for the first 75 minutes. We can build on that.”
The defeat leaves Leipzig in fourth place, one point behind Hoffenheim in third and level on points with Stuttgart in fifth.
