RB Leipzig welcomed Hertha Berlin to the Red Bull Arena, knowing that a win would help them leapfrog Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga table, to go up to second place.
RB Leipzig’s zonal marking cost them early on as Grujiu0107 was able to get a free tap-in from Plattenhardt’s corner.
But it was another corner which brought Leipzig the equaliser, as Klostermann headed it to the far post.
The second half so Hertha emerge as the better side early on, but they couldn’t create a substantial chance.
Halstenberg was carrying a yellow card from the first half after he had hacked Cunha down, and he did that again in the second, which earned him a second yellow, so Leipzig were reduced to 10 men.
