RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol headed in a 70th-minute goal to earn a 1-1 draw against visitors Manchester City in their Champions League round of 16 first leg on Thursday (NZT).
The 21-year-old defender bagged the deserved equaliser with a towering header after City's Riyad Mahrez slotted in from a Leipzig mistake in the 27th minute.
Leipzig were toothless in the first half but were much improved after the break and outplayed their opponents, who are aiming to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for a sixth straight season.
City have now drawn their last two games after being held 1-1 by Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, while Leipzig's four-game winning run in the competition came to an end.
The return leg is at Manchester on March 15.
