Back to winning ways!

RB Leipzig secured a confident 2-0 (1-0) home win against 1. FC Union Berlin on the 20th Bundesliga matchday on Sunday.

RBL started with both Peter Gulacsi and Willi Orban in the lineup, both of whom celebrated their starting eleven comeback in the Bundesliga. The RB Leipzig took an early lead on a powerful tight-angle shot from Lois Openda after a loose ball in the box from a free kick in the 11th minute. That's three straight matches with a goal for Openda, the first time he's done that in his RB Leipzig career.

Both Lois (18') and Benjamin Sesko (45 + 2') had great chances to double the lead if not for a strong performance for Union goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow. So despite a strong first-half performance RBL went into the break holding a narrow 1-0 lead.

That scoreline didn't last for long, though. Shortly after the restart, Sesko headed in from a free kick assist from David Raum to make it 2-0 in the 48th minute. He found the back of the net again shortly after in the 57th minute, but this time his effort was ruled out from an offside in the buildup –– despite some world-class buildup from Dani Olmo.

After 73 minutes, Union captain Christopher Trimmel was shown a red card after a hard foul against David Raum, leading to a confident, dominant performance for RBL. In the final moments, Xavi Simons nearly iced the performance with a superb solo goal, but his shot was saved by Schwolow in the 92nd minute.
