RB Leipzig wins against Bayer Leverkusen and passes Bayern Munich

RB Leipzig beat Bayern 3: 0 (1: 0) against Bayer Leverkusen, third. Yussuf Poulsen (27th, 85th minute) and Lukas Klostermann (68th) scored for the locals. As Düsseldorf and Stuttgart were able to win yesterday, the guests only have three points in the relegation zone after the sixth defeat of the season.

After the spectacular conclusion of the Bundesliga on Saturday with Dortmund's 3-2 win against Bayern, Leipzig and Leverkusen were rather calm. It was therefore almost logical that a center deviated by Timo Werner marks for the first opportunity (11). A little later, however, Werner was allowed to withdraw without intervention from Leverkusen (13). Goalkeeper Lukas Hrádecky was the only one left with his fingertips.

As the ball landed in the 27th minute, Poulsen had to stop his jubilation because an badistant wanted to recognize an offside position. A little later, the Leipzig was then allowed to celebrate for his sniper on Hrádecky. Kai Havertz was the best chance of the guests, when he narrowly missed the RB's goal in the 37th minute in the 12th minute. It was Leverkusen's second shot on goal.

Anyway, the guests' performance after tumultuous victories in Bremen (6: 2) and the Gladbach Cup (5: 0) and a 1: 4 home defeat against Hoffenheim have again begged the question of the status of this strong team within the team. even in half-two against the best defense of the league offensively accomplished little. But as Bayer was also defensive, defenseman Klostermann (68) scored his first goal of the season, before Poulsen (85) moved to 3-0.
