Ralph Hasenhuettl said his young RB Leipzig team can handle its setback in the Bundesliga title race after its shock loss at struggler Ingolstadt let Bayern Munich regain top spot.
Leipzig, which has an average age of 23, kept star-studded Bayern off the summit for three weeks, setting a 13-game unbeaten record for a team in its first season in the German top flight.
But Saturday's 1-0 loss at Ingolstadt, which were bottom before kickoff, allowed Bayern to bridge the three-point gap with a 5-0 win at home to Wolfsburg and go top on goal difference.
