German champions Bayer Leverkusen lost a Bundesliga game for the first time in 15 months when Loïs Openda scored twice in a 3-2 comeback win for Leipzig on Saturday. Under coach Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen has made crucial late goals a speciality. It briefly seemed like that might happen again when the referee went to review a possible penalty in the 86th minute after Leipzig's Castello Lukeba and Leverkusen's Patrik Schick made contact. The referee decided against the spot kick and Leverkusen lost to a German opponent for the first time since May 2023 after 35 Bundesliga games unbeaten, including its entire title-winning 2023-24 season.

JAKE FENNER AT RED BULL ARENA: It was a weird environment at a half-full Red Bull Arena and Aston Villa could not seem to get off on the right foot in a 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig. The German side struck first in the 17th minute with a poacher's goal for Portuguese striker Andre Silva which led to an injury to keeper Robin Olsen. A second goal for Die Roten Bullen from Loïs Openda led to a moment of madness from Villa center back Diego Carlos - who was sent off.
