RB Leipzig loses 1-3 to Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria. The friendly match was an unusual experience for the Saxons. RB goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi sums it up: „We unfortunately lost. But it was a great evening, a nice conclusion.“ U19 player Samba Konaté scored for Leipzig. The South Africans celebrated their three goals with all players and staff on the pitch. The friendly match in Pretoria in front of 17,800 spectators was more of a party than a football match from the start. The Sundowns fans sang and danced for 90 minutes. During the break, Wheelspin star Sam Sam let the car tires smoke. A DJ played on a lift ten meters above the lawn. And fireworks were constantly spraying on the edge of the field. RB manager Marcel Schäfer danced during the break. He had met his former Bundesliga colleague Delron Buckley in the stadium. „The fastest opponent I ever had“, said Schäfer. After the entire Leipzig team was substituted and the thread completely broke, Schäfer's face was a bit darker. No shot on goal after the side change, three goals conceded and many impressions. „We have learned a new football culture“, says Gulacsi. „They play a lot with the ball, are a good team.“ Just a small downside. Because the goalkeeper balanced: „It was a great season. We did a lot of things right and achieved our big goal, the Champions League.“
