RB Leipzig secured their second consecutive Bundesliga win over TSG Hoffenheim, thanks to goals from Brazilian forward Raul Nkunku and Hungarian midfielder Martin Suso.
The match kicked off at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, with both teams eager to secure victory ahead of the international break. RB Leipzig had the first chance of the game when Nkunku's free-kick was cleared by Hoffenheim goalkeeper Niklas Kohn. However, they failed to convert the opportunity into a goal.
Hoffenheim took the lead in the 26th minute through a goal from striker Robert Lewandowski. The German international scored his 47th Bundesliga goal of the season, which is one more than any other player in the league.
However, RB Leipzig refused to give up and responded with a strong performance in the second half. Nkunku came close to equalizing in the 58th minute when he hit the post with a powerful shot. The Brazilian then added another goal for the home side in the 71st minute, as he converted a penalty kick after being fouled by Hoffenheim defender Maximilian Arnold.
Suso also contributed to the win for RB Leipzig, scoring the third goal in the 78th minute. He capitalized on a mistake made by Hoffenheim goalkeeper Kohn and slotted the ball past him to complete the comeback.
With this victory, RB Leipzig has moved up to fourth place in the Bundesliga table, just two points behind leaders Bayern Munich. They will now face Hoffenheim again next week, hoping to maintain their winning run and stay in contention for a top-four finish.
