LEIPZIG, Germany (Interstat) — RB Leipzig women’s football club secured a 2-0 victory over SC Freiburg on Sunday in a Frauen-Bundesliga match defined by a decisive second-half surge and a flurry of disciplinary actions.

The match, played at Trainingszentrum RB Leipzig Platz 1, saw the home side break a stubborn deadlock after halftime to collect three points and level its league record with Freiburg at 7 wins, 10 losses and 2 draws. Freiburg’s record now stands at 7-7-2.

A physical and often disjointed first half yielded no goals but six yellow cards, setting a fractious tone. Freiburg’s Lou-Ann Joly was booked in the 20th minute, followed by Annabel Schasching of Leipzig in the 29th. Freiburg substitutes Lisa Karl and Leela Egli saw yellow in the 32nd and 48th minutes, respectively, before Leipzig’ Nicole Ojukwu received a caution in the 51st.

The breakthrough finally came for the hosts in the 52nd minute. Midfielder Julia Landenberger found the net to give RB Leipzig a 1-0 lead, converting an assist from Annabel Schasching.

The match’s momentum shifted dramatically six minutes later. Freiburg’s Nicole Ojukwu, who had been cautioned just seven minutes prior, received a second yellow card in the 58th minute, resulting in a red card and forcing her team to play a woman down for the remainder of the contest.

Capitalizing on the numerical advantage, RB Leipzig doubled its lead in the 78th minute. Forward Delice Boboy scored, with the assist credited to substitute Leela Egli, sealing the victory for the home side. A late yellow card for Leipzig’s Marlene Müller in the 88th minute brought the total bookings for the match to eight.

The result defied the pre-match projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had forecast a 2-2 draw. Their ELO rating system had given RB Leipzig a narrow 51.4 percent probability of victory.

The win provides a positive bounce for RB Leipzig after a 2-2 draw with Union Berlin in its previous outing. For Freiburg, the loss halts momentum from a 2-1 win over Nurnberg on March 13. The teams had last met on Nov. 3, 2025, a match RB Leipzig won 4-2 in Freiburg.

In the broader league context, both teams remain in the middle of the Frauen-Bundesliga table, with this result tightening the standings between them. RB Leipzig will look to build on this performance when it travels to face Carl Zeiss Jena on Friday. Freiburg’s next challenge comes Sunday at home against Hoffenheim.
