RBL put an end to their losing run against Union!

After suffering 2-1 defeats in each of their last five meetings with 1. FC Union Berlin, RB Leipzig recorded a 3-0 win on matchday 3 in the Bundesliga.

In what was a tightly-contested match in Berlin, both sides entered into several tough tackles and remained compact. Neither team was able to record many chances in the first half, with Union going close thanks to a header from Kevin Volland (12'). Janis Blaswich was on hand to deny the striker the opening goal. RBL attempted several long-range efforts from Yussuf Poulsen (15'), Xavi Simons (18') and Xaver Schlager (33').

After the change of ends, Xavi put RBL ahead with a stunning finish from the edge of the box (51'). The Bulls became even more dominant after Volland was shown a straight red for a foul on Mohamed Simakan (64'), enjoying a man advantage for the final stages of the game.

Substitute Benjamin Šeško then put the game to bed with a late brace (85', 87'). His first goal was set up by Xavi, with our number 30 curling the ball in at the far post, before powering a header into the back of the net after linking up with Dani Olmo. In the end, RBL are able to return home with all three points in hand!
