News: SpVgg Greuther Fürth and RB Leipzig took care of the provisional conclusion of the 26th match day of the Bundesliga. The guests did not show any weakness and shot the promoted team 1: 6 (1: 4) out of their own stadium.
Leweling puts Fürth in the lead – Silva equalizes
RB Leipzig went into the game highly favored, but received the first blow to the neck early on. After Silva lost the ball, the hosts released Leweling, whose cross was initially blocked by Orban. The German junior international grabbed the rebound himself and overcame keeper Gulacsi.
RB’s response was not long in coming. In the 17th minute, Angelino served Andre Silva with a perfect cross. The Portuguese prevailed in a header duel and headed in for the tenth goal of the season. 14 minutes later, a Leipzig corner found its way to Emil Forsberg, who fired from the second row and placed a not entirely unstoppable shot in goal. RB got stronger by the minute.
In the 34th, the hosts executed a corner that became a direct counterattack. Silva found Nkunku, who put it directly on Laimer and lobbed keeper Linde to make it 1:3. It was a reflection of a focused, effective performance by Domenico Tedesco’s men.
The former Schalke head coach was able to celebrate a quarter of the time before the break after Nkunku nibbled several Fürthers and alluded to Angelino. The Spaniard’s cross found the second post Benjamin Henrichs, who pushed in to make it 4-1. Shortly thereafter referee Sven Jablonski whistled for the tea break.
Leipzig moves up to fourth place
After the game had already been decided at the break, Leipzig played their boots down in the second half as well. A cross from Emil Forsberg in the 58th minute found Mo Simakan’s head in the center of the box. The central defender headed in for his first Bundesliga goal. RB used the standard weakness of Stefan Leitl’s team incredibly consistently that evening.
But when you look at the match report, the name of a player who is probably having the best season of his career was missing up to the 69th minute. After a nice dribbling, Forsberg pinned – of course – Christopher Nkunku, who placed the ball in the bottom right corner.
