Leipzig march on!

RBL won 1-0 away at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday afternoon, extending their winning streak in all competitions to five games.

The first half at the Borussia-Park was dominated by a lot of challenges, with few chances for either side. The hosts were aggressive in defence and looked to get on the front foot, but Leipzig kept things tight. The first dangerous opening came in the sixth minute, as Maximilian Wöber headed over from a corner. RBL responded in the 20th minute through Benjamin Sesko, though his effort was blocked in the box.

Shortly afterwards, the hosts were once again threatening to go in front. Julian Weigl's deflected free-kick went just wide. RBL also almost went into the break with the lead, as Fabio Carvalho's curled effort forced Gladbach goalkeeper Moritz Nicholas into a fantastic save (45').

The Leipzig boys made a great start to the second half. A through ball from Xavi found Lois Openda in the Gladbach box, however his shot was saved. RBL continued to pile the pressure on the Foals, but they weren't completely dominant. Gladbach threatened again in the 63rd minute, but Janis Blaswich was able to tip Rocco Reitz's header over the bar. The winning goal came 15 minutes before the final whistle: Yussuf Poulsen won the ball back and the away side broke quickly. Xavi found Timo Werner in acres of space and our number 11 rounded the goalkeeper and fired home from a tight angle to open the scoring. RBL didn't give Gladbach a sniff for the rest of the game and took home the three points.
