RB Leipzig has taken another step towards securing their place at the top of Bundesliga with a thrilling victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday night.
The match was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams creating numerous chances but failing to find the net until late in the second half when RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner scored a stunning goal from distance that left Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Gregor Kobel no chance.
However, it wasn't just Werner who shone for RB Leipzig - they were also helped by the impressive display of their young starlet, Timo Nkunku. The midfielder played a pivotal role in the opening goal and then added to his tally in the dying moments of the game with a well-taken finish that put RB Leipzig ahead.
Nkunku's performance was nothing short of sensational, as he showed great composure on the ball and an ability to create space for himself and his teammates. His partnership with Werner was a real highlight of the evening, with the duo combining seamlessly to cause problems for Eintracht Frankfurt's defence.
Despite the defeat, Eintracht Frankfurt will take heart from their performance against one of the most talented sides in German football. They created numerous chances throughout the match and had several opportunities to score, but ultimately fell short of grabbing all three points.
Overall, this was a closely contested match that saw both teams leave the field feeling satisfied with their performances. RB Leipzig now have six points from two matches, while Eintracht Frankfurt remain in fourth place after their loss. It remains to be seen how the rest of the Bundesliga will fare in the coming weeks, but it is clear that RB Leipzig will be a force to be reckoned with in the competition.
