Harder left Sporting, now shining with Leipzig this season 👀 | OneFootball

Leipzig won this Sunday, November 23, at home against Werder Bremen, 2-0, and climbed to second place in the Bundesliga. Conrad Harder started for the first time in Ole Werner’s team, but he has been having a season to forget with the German club.

The player was very active in seeking the ball, but was not always able to use it in the best way. A clear example came in the 41st minute, when the forward tried to dribble past a defender, but his touch was too heavy and he ended up committing a dangerous foul on his opponent. The referee inevitably showed him a yellow card.

The striker is not having an easy adaptation in Germany and only now made his first start for his new club, after leaving Sporting in the summer. Even so, the footballer still has not registered any goals or assists this season.

As for the match, Leipzig opened the scoring in the 63rd minute through Assan Ouedraogo. In the 80th minute, Xaver Schlager sealed the result. With this victory, Leipzig now has 25 points, six behind leaders Bayern Munich. Werder Bremen is in eighth place, with 15.

It is worth remembering that the transfer of Conrad Harder from Sporting to Leipzig happened right at the close of the transfer window in Germany. The deal earned Sporting a guaranteed 24 million euros, potentially rising to 30 million depending on objectives, and secured the Nordic striker a millionaire salary: 12 million euros over five seasons. The player recently spoke about his departure.
