RB Leipzig has edged past Hoffenheim with a 3-2 victory on Saturday, thanks to goals from Nkunku twice. The game was a closely contested affair, but Nkunku's two goals in the second half proved decisive as RB Leipzig secured all three points.
The match started off evenly, with both teams creating chances but failing to find the back of the net. However, in the 64th minute, Nkunku scored his first goal of the game, putting RB Leipzig ahead. The German winger then added another in the 85th minute, sealing the win for his team.
Nkunku's performance was nothing short of impressive, as he showed great skill and pace throughout the game. He was also praised by his teammates, who described him as "a real leader" on the pitch.
Despite the victory, Hoffenheim will be disappointed with their performance. They created several chances during the match, but were unable to convert them into goals. Their coach, Holger Frank, expressed frustration at his side's inability to score, saying that they had given away too many free-kicks.
Overall, this is a significant result for RB Leipzig, as it puts them top of the Bundesliga table. They now have the opportunity to maintain their position and secure a place in Europe's elite competition next season. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim will need to bounce back quickly if they want to avoid relegation.
