Aussies abroad: Leckie sees red in win over Bundesliga leaders
Mathew Leckie’s FC Ingolstadt pulled off the biggest upset of the Bundesliga season, only for the Caltex Socceroo to get sent off in stoppage-time in a dramatic clash in Bavaria.
Despite sitting last in the German top flight Ingolstadt became the first side this season to defeat RB Leipzig, with Roger’s 12th-minute header enough for a 1-0 win.
But in a tense finish, Leckie picked up two yellow cards in stoppage-time to see red but his side held on for just their second win of the campaign.
The 25-year-old winger’s first yellow was for a tackle from behind before he picked up his second booking just a few seconds later for kicking the ball away and then shoving an opponent.
