In a preview to the Bundesliga clash between these two sides on Saturday, RB Leipzig were cruelly knocked out of the DFB Cup, via a penalty shootout, to keep Bayern Munich's hopes of securing a domestic double alive.
There was a frantic opening 20 minutes of the match, with both sides showing their attacking threat. Robert Lewandowski carved Bayern's first opportunity of the game, while Jean-Kévin Augustin and Emil Forsberg were proving to be the danger men for die Roten Bullen.
Just after the half hour mark, Arturo Vidal carelessly fouled Yussuf Poulsen on the edge of the area and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
