Wolfsburg - RB Leipzig 2:3

RB Leipzig claimed a crucial away victory over VfL Wolfsburg in the opening fixture of Matchday 29 in the Bundesliga, reigniting their battle for third place as the season heads into its final stretch.

Thanks to a stunning brace from rising star Xavi Simons and a clinical finish by Loïs Openda, Leipzig raced into a commanding 3-0 lead. However, what seemed like a comfortable night turned into a nerve-wracking finish as Wolfsburg fought back bravely, scoring twice to cut the deficit and push the visitors to the limit.

The result sees RB Leipzig pull level on points with third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, trailing only on goal difference. With just five rounds remaining, the race for the Bundesliga podium is heating up — and Leipzig have firmly placed themselves back in the mix.
