Despite the fact that the championship is already decided, there is a heated battle for 4th place in the German Bundesliga between RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund, but today’s head-to-head encounter has already provided more or less a definitive answer, as the Red Bulls, at home in the Red Bull Arena, outplayed semi-finalists of the current Champions League edition after a turnaround.
To the joy of the visitors, Jadon Sancho provided a superb goal in the 20th minute, but Borussia’s lead didn’t last long, as just three minutes later, Lois Openda capitalized on an excellent pass from Xavi Simons and put the ball behind Gregor Kobel.
The turnaround came just before the end of the first half, in the second minute of stoppage time, when, for the fourth consecutive game, Slovenian international Benjamin Šeško found the net, being the quickest to react to a rebound.
The Red Bulls’ good performance continued immediately at the start of the second half when, after a well-worked combination and a pass from Openda, defender Mohamed Simakan found himself alone in front of the empty net and increased the hosts’ advantage. A crucial win was confirmed, with a goal ten minutes before the end of regular time, by Christoph Baumgartner, who came on in the 70th minute to replace Šeško. Kevin Kampl entered the game in the 88th minute.
Under Marco Rose’s guidance, Leipzig has won six of their last seven matches in the German championship, while also needing a maximum of four points to secure 4th place on the league table at the end of the season.
