Julian Nagelsmann took his winning goal scorer in his arms and then briefly clapped his hands. RB Leipzig did not let the favorite scare Union Berlin slow them down and remains the first pursuer of front runner FC Bayern. The Saxons beat the surprise team 1-0 (0-0) on Wednesday evening and are second in the Bundesliga with 35 points at the halfway point of the season. Substitute Emil Forsberg (70th) made the decision with his goal for the clearly superior Leipzig.
