# RB Leipzig Beat TSG Hoffenheim 2-0, Nkunku and Szoboszlai Score for Top-Four Consolidation
RB Leipzig delivered a commanding 2-0 victory over TSG Hoffenheim in a Bundesliga clash that saw them extend their lead in the race for a top-four finish. Dominant from the start, Leipzig’s clinical efficiency in front of goal proved decisive as they secured their seventh win of the season.
The match was a tale of two halves, with Leipzig dominating possession and creating numerous chances. The first goal came in the 15th minute when Emil Forsberg capitalized on a defensive error, slotting home from close range. Forsberg’s strike was followed by a moment of brilliance from young star Dominik Szoboszlai, who executed a perfectly weighted free-kick to find Kevin Nkunku, who slid in to make it 2-0 just before halftime.
Hoffenheim, despite their defensive struggles, responded well after the break, but Leipzig’s defense held firm, led by the commanding presence of Willi Ormann and the tireless running of Jonas Hector. The visitors’ best chance came when Anthony Modeste fired a shot from outside the box, but his effort lacked the precision to break down a resolute Leipzig backline.
The victory underscored Leipzig’s growing confidence under manager Domenico Tedesco, who has masterminded their recent surge. With the top-four race heating up, Leipzig’s ability to maintain their form will be crucial as they aim to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League.
This win not only extended Leipzig’s recent momentum but also highlighted the importance of their star players, Nkunku and Szoboszlai, who continue to shine on the big stage. With four games remaining, Leipzig will look to build on this performance and consolidate their position in the top half of the Bundesliga table.
