RB Leipzig has defended the lead in the South-East division of the Virtual Bundesliga Club Championship in FIFA 22 in a long-distance duel with Ingolstadt 04.

The two teams went into the doubles match with equal points. The chance for a change at the top of the table was there: against Hertha BSC, Leipzig scored only four points, against Eintracht Frankfurt, the leader of the table dropped only six points.

It was the reigning VBL individual champion Umut "Umut" Gültekin, who dropped points in his two solo matches. As in the first round, Umut lost to Frankfurt's Andreas "Andy" Gube (2:3).

The Leipzig player seemed visibly dissatisfied with his performance, especially in the match against Andy. Umut paused after the third goal, sank deeper and deeper into his chair and looked for help to his teammate Richard "Gaucho" Hormes.

But Ingolstadt also dropped points. Against Eintracht Frankfurt, the runner-up scored only three points, against Jahn Regensburg at least four points. The double match against Regensburg had to be postponed, so Leipzig's three-point lead is initially just a snapshot of this matchday.
