Leipzig came back with ten men, and the interesting part is how they still got into Essen’s box. Essen led at the break; Nicolas Seiwald had already been sent off. Leipzig then scored twice through Christoph Baumgartner and won 2–1. Was the turning point Essen’s response to the lead, or Leipzig’s changes after the break?
Our provisional match record gives Leipzig nine shots from inside the box against Essen’s six. It also records attacking changes after the break, including Antonio Nusa entering before he assisted Baumgartner’s equalizer. The numbers describe the pressure and the events, though they cannot settle which adjustment caused the comeback.
