To be fair, the away side looked sharper in attack. They scored five more goals than their hosts and maintained control throughout. The visitors have now won both games without dropping points.
Grosselfstadt's recent form showed mixed results before this match. They had drawn with Kобург 2000 in June but lost to TV Hüttenberg and HBV Ballingen-Weilstetten in August. Those results suggested they were still finding their rhythm.
By then, Leipzig had shown they could compete at this level. They drew with GWD Minden in June, lost to Essen and Lemgo, but beat Minden again in August. This victory followed that pattern of improvement.
