Manchester United lost tonight in Istanbul to Istanbul Basaksehir. PSG did not use this to take the lead in Group H. The victory of Leipzig and Basaksehir has made the fight for a place in this group even more interesting.
Leipzig defeated European runners-up Paris Saint-Germain today at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.
The French started this match very well where they scored a goal in the 5th minute of the match through Angel Di Maria.
Di Maria had the opportunity to score again for PSG but did not do so after in the 16th minute the penalty awarded to the French failed to turn it into a goal.
The locals would react and equalize the score in the 42nd minute of the match through Nkuku.
In the second half the locals were better and constantly sought the lead goal. They would have achieved this in the 57th minute after Forsberg would have scored from the penalty spot.
PSG started to attack and demanded the equalizer but things became very difficult for them when in the 69th minute with a red card Idrissa Gueye was sent off.
Even more PSG would be damaged in the extra minutes of the match when Kimpende would also be penalized with a red card.
Recall that in this match for PSG were missing the dangerous attacking duo Mbappe and Neymar, who were missing due to injuries.
After this victory, Leipzig is in second place with 6 points, as much as Manchester United is in first place and lost today in Istanbul by Basaksehir.
