RB Leipzig won 4-1 against Borussia Dortmund. The chance that the Boruses will be active in the Champions League next year will be severely damaged. Red Devil Lois Openda was the most important man on the field.
Dortmund started the match full of eagerness. Jadon Sancho gave Die Schwarzgelben the lead with a beautiful curl, although his luck was short-lived. 0-1.
Not much later, our compatriot Louis Openda hung the signs again. Xavi Simons delivered a trivela cross to Openda, who then finished simply. 1-1. Leipzig took the lead just before half time. Benjamin Sesko hit a rebound into the net, a gift from Dortmund goalkeeper Kobel. 2-1.
Leipzig couldn’t stop and stormed out of the changing rooms. This time Openda took on the role of declarant. After a textbook counter, the Red Devil played wide to Simakan, who gave Openda his seventh assist in the Bundesliga.
Ten minutes before the final whistle, Baumgartner put the final score on the board. The 4-1 was scored in the short corner under Kobel.
With 9 points still to be earned in the Bundesliga, Leipzig increases the distance over Borussia Dortmund to 5 points.
