Here we take a look at our previous landmark matches.
100th competitive match
Matchday 19, Regionalliga Nord 2011/12
21st March 2012: Hamburger SV II – RB Leipzig 1-0
RB Leipzig’s 100th match in all competitions saw the club travel to play Hamburger SV’s reserves. That season, RB were unbeaten on the road still by matchday 19, not losing any of their first 10 away games. However, that run was ended in Hamburg. George Kelbel scored the only goal of the game, and despite a red card for the hosts in the second half, Leipzig couldn’t turn the game around.
200th competitive match
Matchday 10, 2. Bundesliga 2014/15
17th October 2014: 1.FC Nürnberg – RB Leipzig 1-0
After quickly working their way up to the second tier, Leipzig also started their first season in the 2. Bundesliga strongly. Ahead of the matchday 10 clash away at Nürnberg, RB had only suffered one defeat – away at Union Berlin (2-1). The starting XI in Nürnberg included a certain Yussuf Poulsen, however the second landmark match was also a bad one. Niclas Füllkrug assisted Alessandro Schöpf for the winning goal in the second half for FCN in a 1-0 defeat.
300th competitive match
Matchday 2, Bundesliga 2017/18
27th August 2017: RB Leipzig – SC Freiburg 4-1
100 games later and RB are in the Bundesliga! Having ended the club’s first ever top-flight campaign in second place, the next one began with a 2-0 defeat away at FC Schalke 04. Unlike the first two landmark matches though, Leipzig were able to win this one. The 300th game in all competitions saw a real thriller at the Red Bull Arena. SC Freiburg did actually go 1-0 up thanks to a Florian Niederlechner goal, but Leipzig came out for the second half a different side and turned the game on its head. Timo Werner grabbed the equaliser, then Willi Orban, Bruma and Werner again sealed a 4-1 victory!
400th competitive match
Matchday 2, Bundesliga 2019/20
25th August 2019: RB Leipzig – Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1
The next landmark game in this journey also came on matchday two of a Bundesliga season. On this occasion, Eintracht Frankfurt were the visitors after RB had won 4-0 at Union Berlin on the opening weekend of the 2019/20 season. Long-serving striker Yussuf Poulsen was the hero that afternoon, scoring and assisting a goal in a 2-1 victory.
500th competitive match
Matchday 6, Bundesliga 2021/22
25th September 2021: RB Leipzig – Hertha BSC 6-0
The 500th competitive game in RB Leipzig’s history and what a game it was! Jesse Marsch’s team hammered Hertha BSC 6-0 in front of 23,500 fans at the Red Bull Arena.
The impressive Christopher Nkunku started the rout off (16’), before Yussuf Poulsen (23’) and Nordi Mukiele (45’) effectively killed the game off in the first half. The special day was rounded off by further goals by Emil Forsberg (60’ – penalty), Nkunku again (70’) and Amadou Haidara (77’).
Interesting fact:
Eight players (Péter Gulácsi, Willi Orban, Lukas Klostermann, Marcel Halstenberg, Kevin Kampl, Konrad Laimer, Emil Forsberg and Yussuf Poulsen) who were at the club four years for the 300th game are still with RB Leipzig now!
