What a turnaround! Matchday 2 in the Bundesliga saw RB Leipzig come back from trailing VfB Stuttgart 1-0 at half time to run away 5-1 winners.

VfB Stuttgart started strongly and deserved their opening goal, although Serhou Guirassy took full advantage of a misplaced pass at the back from David Raum (35'). RBL went in at the break 1-0 down, not least because of an important save on the stroke of half time from Alexander Nübel to deny Loïs Openda (45+3').

After the interval, Benny Henrichs earned his side the equaliser with determined pressing against Nübel's clearance, and his block saw the ball richochet into the VfB net (51'). Openda thought he'd turned the game around just moments later, when Nübel spilled a cross at his feet in the box, but VAR ruled that he was in an offside positoin (53').

It was just the start of a rampant period from Die Roten Bullen, who make it 5-1 within half an hour of the restart. Dani Olmo did get Leipzig's second with a delightdul turn and finish (63'), Openda did get his goal, heading in at the back post to make it 3-1 (66'), Kevin Kampl added a fourth with a deflected long-range shot (74'), and Xavi bagged his first goal for the club at the second bite of the cherry to wrap up a comprehensive win (76').
