Timo Werner's Farewell Marks RB Leipzig's 2-2 Draw with Wolfsburg as Augsburg Secures Win Over Heidenheim

On February 15, 2026, RB Leipzig hosted VfL Wolfsburg in a dramatic Bundesliga match that ended in a 2-2 draw, a game notable as Timo Werner's emotional farewell to Leipzig. Werner, 29, was honored by the club and fans before the match, receiving a bull figurine and a farewell photo from Leipzig's sporting director Marcel Schäfer, while supporters displayed banners saying 'Danke Timo'. The forward, who announced the birth of his daughter on Wednesday, expressed pride in his Leipzig roots, stating, 'Einmal Leipzig, immer Leipzig.' Werner is set to join the San José Earthquakes with a contract through 2028, making this his last Leipzig appearance.

Despite Leipzig's dominance throughout the match, the team struggled to convert several scoring chances and lost goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi to injury during the game. Wolfsburg goalkeeper Grabara made important saves but was also culpable for errors that led to Leipzig goals. Wolfsburg opened the scoring with Mohammed Amoura, followed by a Leipzig equalizer from Anderson Diomande. Wolfsburg regained the lead thanks to Svanberg's strike, but in the dying moments, Gruda netted an equalizer for Leipzig. Gruda later described the draw as a 'bitter result,' as RB Leipzig aimed for a win to strengthen their Champions League qualification hopes, making the outcome a setback.

In another Bundesliga match on the same day, FC Augsburg defeated Heidenheim. The match, attended by 30,107 spectators, was described as dull by Augsburg’s Keven Schlotterbeck who humorously remarked he might have fallen asleep watching it. Heidenheim, currently at the bottom of the league table with the weakest offensive record, showed more initiative in the second half but failed to capitalize on key opportunities with players Jan Schöppner and Eren Dinkci missing critical chances. Augsburg secured their victory thanks to a penalty goal from Claude-Maurice, awarded after a foul on Schlotterbeck by Heidenheim’s Benedikt Gimber during a corner kick.

These results illustrate the competitiveness of Bundesliga matches on February 15, combining emotional player farewells with decisive team performances impacting the league standings and European qualification battles.
