A dramatic late, deflected Tyler Adams goal gave RB Leipzig a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final.
Atletico were without Thomas Partey in midfield while RB Leipzig were starting the quarter-final without Timo Werner, who had moved to Chelsea
It was Atletico who dominated, but chances were few and far between for both sides. Yannick Carrasco forced Peter Gulacsi into a smart stop, and both sides forced the ‘keeper’s to deal with a header from set pieces.
In the second half, Dani Olmo’s brilliant header put his side ahead to shock Diego Simeone’s side into life with his fifth goal in 14 RB appearances.
With a touch over half an hour remaining, record signing Joao Felix was brought on to save the game and it took him a little more than 10 minutes to win and then convert a penalty with an assist from Diego Costa.
As full time drew near, Marcel Sabitzer fizzed a pass down the left for Angelino, allowing the left-back to pick out Adams. His shot flicked off Stefan Savic to beat Jan Oblak and gift Leipzig a place in the semis.
Leipzig will play Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals on Tuesday. The winner of that fixture will be allocated ‘home’ advantage for the final in the same stadium.
