Leipzig football club of Germany came back from a goal down to play out a 1-1 draw against English premier League defending champions Manchester City in their Champions League round-of-16 first leg game on Wednesday.
Riyad Mahrez’s first-half goal had seemingly set Pep Guardiola’s side on their way to the quarter-finals as they dominated the early proceedings in Germany, but Leipzig bounced back and found a deserved equaliser through the head of Josko Gvardiol.
In the 27th minute, Jack Grealish nicked back possession and his forward pass was dummied by Ilkay Gundogan, allowing Mahrez to fire the ball low into the corner of the net. It was a deserved lead and put City in total control of the tie.
However, in the 70th minute of the encounter, Andre Silva and Dominik Szoboszlai forced smart saves from Ederson but the goalkeeper had no answer when Gvardiol leaped above Ruben Dias and nodded into the net. It was a deserved equaliser given the way that Leipzig responded once behind.
