Benjamin Šeško helped RB Leipzig secure another victory in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The Red Bulls visited Bochum, who proved to be no match for the club contending for Europe. Benjamin Šeško, Kevin Kampl, and their teammates celebrated a convincing 4-1 away win.
The hosts took the lead when, in the seventh minute, Maximilian Wittek scored from almost thirty meters with a free-kick after a failed intervention by Péter Gulácsi. The guests equalized in the 30th minute when Benjamin Šeško received the ball in a counter-attack, passing it to Dani Olmo, who skillfully scored from the edge of the penalty area. The teams went into halftime with a 1-1 score.
The Slovenian forward left the field in the fifteenth minute of the second half, making way for Lois Openda, who, in the 68th minute, put the guests in the lead with a goal in a counter-attack. Leipzig increased their lead three minutes later when Ivan Ordets scored an own goal after a cross from Xavi Simons. The final score (1-4) was set in the 72nd minute by substitute Yussuf Poulsen.
The Red Bulls face the return leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday at the legendary Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid, seeking to overturn the first-leg deficit.
