Leipzig broke out in Cologne with five points

The 3rd consecutive victory was won by Leipzig who, with an outbreak in the second half, did not face any particular problems to get, as with Bochum, another away victory, this time with 5-1, which is the 3rd in a row after the defeat by Bayern. With this three points, Leipzig rose to 4th place with 49 points, two more than Dortmund, but also a game more. Two goals for Luis Openda, one each for Xavi Simmons, Haidara and Youssef Poulsen.

Leipzig took a quick lead with Xavi Simmons’ goal in the 15th minute after Dani Olmo worked with Cesko and the latter provided the final pass to the scorer. Three minutes later the “goats” responded with Adamian’s goal from an assist by Martel to equalize with this score closing the first half.

In the replay, Marco Rose’s players broke out and within seven minutes cleaned up the match. In 63′ Simmons served Opeda for 1-2, while in 67′ Raum found Opeda with a nice cross and he made it 1-3 with a header. In the 70′ it was Haidara’s turn to score to raise the score to 4-1 for the visiting team, to close the score in the 82′ Poulsen who did not need more than ten minutes after entering the match, to close the score with a right shot.
