Marcel Zappitzer scored two early goals to lead Razen
Balcheport Leipzig to a 3-0 win over Tottenham
Hotspur, title holder, on Tuesday evening, in the second
leg of the Champions League round sixteen to reach the
quarter-finals for the first time in his history by winning
4-0 in the overall result.
Zapitzer opened the scoring for the German team with a
low shot of 20 meters in the tenth minute and Leipzig left
no chance for his opponent, who played without injured
attacking duo Harry Kane and Sun Heung-min as he
forced him back into the defense.
The Leipzig captain consolidated his team’s lead in the
21st minute when he turned Angelino’s cross pass with a
header into the goal and it appeared that the Spurs
players had lost their focus, and Emil Forsberg
completed the quad in the 87th minute.
The injured Tottenham lost the efforts of defender
Stephen Bergvaino, defender Ben Davies, suffered to
keep up with the speed of Leipzig and his defense was in
constant danger and did not threaten his opponent’s goal.
Jose Mourinho’s team, which has not won a game since
losing 1-0 to Leipzig in the first leg in London last
month, hit one ball on the goal in the first half through
Giovanni Lucelso and the effect of Kane and Sun’s
absence appeared.
