Aston Villa Falls to RB Leipzig 2-0

Aston Villa suffered a 2-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in their fourth pre-season friendly, playing the second half with 10 men after Diego Carlos received a red card. The match saw Leipzig's Andre Silva score the opener and Lois Openda double the lead before Carlos was sent off following two yellow cards. Villa, coming off a 4-1 loss to Columbus Crew, highlighted the need for improvement, especially after recent successes in previous friendlies. Manager Unai Emery fielded a starting XI that included new signings like Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana, while Jacob Ramsey made a return to the squad. Despite the loss, Villa aims to learn from these matches as they prepare for their season and European competition. The friendly against Leipzig concluded Villa's USA tour, with their next match against Club America set for Sunday.
