Leipzig's Top-four Hopes Stumble In Augsburg Stalemate

RB Leipzig's push for a top-four finish suffered a setback on Friday as they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Augsburg in the Bundesliga .

Despite a strong attacking lineup, Leipzig struggled to break down a disciplined Augsburg side, who extended their unbeaten run to six league matches.

Leipzig started brightly, with Christoph Baumgartner missing two early chances, but the visitors soon ran out of ideas against a resilient defence.

Kosta Nedeljkovic, on loan from Aston Villa, came closest to a late winner, but his header struck the crossbar, leaving Leipzig to rue another missed opportunity.

The result means Leipzig have now won just once in their last six league games. They remain fourth in the table but could slip to fifth if Stuttgart beat Wolfsburg on Saturday.
