# RB Leipzig Complete Their Return After 2-1 Win Over VfL Wolfsburg
RB Leipzig returned to winning ways as they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over VfL Wolfsburg in their first match since the international break. The match, played at Red Bull Arena, saw Leipzig dominate possession and showcase their attacking flair, despite a stubborn Wolfsburg side making it a competitive encounter.
The game began with both teams looking to impose their styles, but it was Leipzig who drew first blood in the 15th minute. A clever exchange of passes in the midfield led to a through ball that found Alexander Møller, who slotted home from 20 yards out. Wolfsburg responded well, with their attacking trio of Kevin Volland, Jonas Hector, and Lukas Nissen pulling the visitors level just before halftime. Hector, who had been a thorn in Leipzig’s side all season, converted a penalty after he was fouled in the box by Marcel Sabatier.
However, Leipzig refused to back down and, driven by the home crowd, levelled the score again in the 67th minute. A rapid counter-attack saw Møller once again be the hero, finishing with a low shot from the edge of the box after some neat link-up play involving Dani Olmo. Wolfsburg pushed hard for an equalizer, but Leipzig’s defense held firm, led by the commanding presence of Willi Ormann and the tireless running of Sabatier.
The win moves Leipzig to fifth place in the Bundesliga standings, maintaining their challenge for a top-four finish this season. Head coach Domenico Tedesco will be pleased with the performance, especially after a tough schedule that included three consecutive wins before the international break.
For Wolfsburg, it’s back to the drawing board as they prepare to face RB Leipzig again in the DFB-Pokal later this month. While they’ve been competitive in recent matches, their inability to break down Leipzig’s defense will be a concern moving forward.
In a match that had everything—tension, skill, and drama—Leipzig’s 2-1 victory was a testament to their resilience and attacking quality. The fans at Red Bull Arena will be eager for more as their team continues to push forward in the Bundesliga and European competitions.
