RB Leipzig Stun Dortmund with 3-2 Comeback Victory
Leipzig Fight Back from Early Dortmund Advantage
In a thrilling Bundesliga encounter, RB Leipzig came from behind to defeat Borussia Dortmund 3-2 on Saturday. Despite Dortmund taking an early lead through Jadon Sancho, Leipzig rallied with goals from Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko to secure the win. The match was marked by a controversial red card to Dortmund's Mats Hummels, which left the visitors playing with 10 men for the majority of the game.
Leipzig's Dominance After Hummels' Departure
After Hummels' dismissal, Leipzig took control of the match. Andre Silva's shot rattled off the crossbar as Leipzig pressed for an equalizer. The breakthrough came in the 57th minute when Openda's close-range effort found the back of the net. Sesko doubled Leipzig's lead just three minutes later, heading in from a corner. Dortmund struggled to create chances with their numerical disadvantage, despite a late goal from Ramy Bensebaini.
Dortmund's Disappointment and Leipzig's Delight
Speaking after the match, Dortmund manager Sebastian Kehl expressed his disappointment with the result. "We had the hope that we could get something out of the game, but it wasn't possible with 10 men," he said. Leipzig coach Marco Rose, on the other hand, was thrilled with his team's performance. "I'm proud of my players. They showed great spirit and determination to come back from behind," he said.
Key Players Reflect on the Match
Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and midfielder Julian Brandt also commented on the defeat. "It was a tough game, and we were unlucky to go down to 10 men so early," said Kobel. Brandt added, "We didn't play our best today, but credit to Leipzig. They played well and deserved to win."
