Leipzig are fucking shit, wow. Yes, they won and deserved the win, but for a team worth half a billion euros they play some absolute stanky football.
Frustrating as a Darmstadt fan, even though we were committing fouls, it seemed the officials got it wrong in a couple of key moments including the 3rd Leipzig goal. The handball was never properly looked. Also, the refs should not have blown the halftime whistle when there was a blatant handball right outside the Leipzig box. Unfortunate that Darmstadt was not awake in the first minute. The second goal was a good shot and a mistake by Schuhen. When the game wasn’t stopped every minute in the second half, it felt like Darmstadt was performing like they were in the first half. A 1-2 defeat or 2-2 draw final score would more accurately reflect the gameplay over the course of the game.
