On Sunday night, RB Leipzig continued their impressive form as they defeated Union Berlin 3-0 in a thrilling match at Red Bull Arena. The victory was all the more significant given that RB Leipzig have been in fine form this season, having won six out of their last seven matches. The first goal of the game came just three minutes into the match, with RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner scoring from close range after a well-placed cross by fellow forward Nkunku. The second goal came shortly afterwards, with RB Leipzig midfielder Oliver Kimmich slotting home from a corner kick. The third and final goal came late on in the match, with RB Leipzig's young winger Maximilian Eggenhofer heading home to complete the scoring for the hosts. RB Leipzig's attacking trio of Nkunku, Olmo, and Szoboszlai were all in top form on Sunday night. Nkunku scored two goals, while Olmo also had a goal and assist to his name. Szoboszlai, meanwhile, provided the assists for both of RB Leipzig's goals. It was a display of sheer class from the Leipzig trio, who showed why they are considered one of the best attacking trios in Europe. The win was not without controversy, however. Union Berlin goalkeeper Robin Zylberberg received a straight red card for a reckless challenge on RB Leipzig defender Daniel Caligiuri, which resulted in a sending off. This was a blow for Union Berlin, who were already struggling against RB Leipzig's formidable defense. Despite this setback, Union Berlin will be disappointed with their performance on Sunday night. They created several chances throughout the match but could not find the back of the net. The loss will be a setback for them going into the winter break, but it is unlikely to affect their overall position in the Bundesliga table. Overall, RB Leipzig's victory over Union Berlin was a dominant display of football. The team's attacking trio were in great form, and their defensive record has remained solid throughout the season. With such a strong squad, there is no reason why RB Leipzig should not continue their impressive run of form in the coming weeks. |
