Upamecano sees red as Collins’ Paderborn dent RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga hopes

Dayot Upamecano was sent off as RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga title ambitions dipped following Saturday’s 1-1 draw against struggling Paderborn.

The Bissau-Guinean was shown the way out in the first half for a second caution and that proved costly for the Red Bulls’ maiden German top-flight diadem march.

Leipzig came into the game in high spirits following a comprehensive 4-2 away triumph at FC Cologne on Monday.

They looked to be heading for another routine win as Patrik Schick found the net after 27 minutes – profiting from Timo Werner’s assist.

However, Upamecano’s early dismissal brought about an adverse chance in fortune for Julian Nagelsmann’s men.
