City were first to record a goal in the 27th minute courtesy Algerian international, Riyad Mahrez who smashed the ball into the bottom-right corner of the post to make it 1-0.
The star-studded Pep Guardiola could not make much impact on the pitch tried to stabilise the ball until Leipzig found a breakthrough when Halstenberg whips in the cross from a short corner, and Ederson scrambled seeing Gvardiol rises high to nod the ball into the far corner to make 1-1 giving the hosts an equaliser.
City will be looking for a favourable outcome as they host the German side in March.
Elsewhere, Inter Milan narrowly escaped a draw outcome in the 86th minute, Belgian International and former Chelsea player, Romelu Lukaku who came in as a substitute answered the call for Inter in which the game ended 1-0 in favour of Inter.
