With Andre Silva and Dani Olmo scoring twice, the Leipzig easily passed the home of Schalke (1-6) and rose, albeit temporarily, to 2nd place in the Bundesliga.
The visitors opened the scoring in just the 7th minute, with Andre Silva beating Smolov with a superb shot from outside the area to make it 1-0! Eight minutes later, it was Henriques’ turn to score, who made it 2-0 with a fine finish!
And where everything showed that the two teams will go to the locker room with this score, Leipzig “struck” twice, with Andre Silva (44′) and Dani Olmo (45’+2′) turning the match into a walk.
The only thing that changed by the end of the match was the scoreline, with the home side getting the goal of honor with a fine effort from Kozuki in the 56th minute, Dani Olmo scoring again in the 83rd minute with a superb lob and Poulsen putting the icing on the cake six minutes later for the final 6-1!
