Penalty shoots Leipzig into ******* Cup semi-finals

RB Leipzig needed a well-taken second-half penalty from forward Benjamin Sesko to edge out VfL Wolfsburg 1-0 and reach the ******* Cup last four.

Leipzig, back-to-back ******* Cup winners in 2022 and 2023, soaked up early Wolfsburg pressure in both halves on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) before gradually improving.

They bagged the winner in the 69th minute when keeper Marius Mueller went the wrong way as Slovenia forward Sesko took his penalty, which had been awarded for hand ball.

Both teams almost scored late in the game, with Sesko’s close-range effort saved, before Wolfsburg, who had hit the woodwork with Mohamed Amoura’s header three minutes after the restart, missed a chance from Kevin Behrens.

Leipzig join holders Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart in the last four, as well as third-tier Arminia Bielefeld, who stunned Werder Bremen 2-1 on Tuesday.
