RB Leipzig 3-2 Leverkusen (Aug 31, 2024) Game Analysis


Loïs Openda‘s double helped RB Leipzig come from two goals down to snatch a 3-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday and end Xabi Alonso side’s 35-game unbeaten league run.

Leverkusen dominated from the start and Jeremie Frimpong opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a low strike from close range before Alejandro Grimaldo doubled the lead just before the break.

Leipzig pulled a goal back through midfielder Kevin Kampl deep in first-half stoppage time, however, and Openda levelled in the 57th minute before he fired home an unstoppable shot from distance which gave Leverkusen keeper Matej Kovar no chance.

Leipzig moved to the top of the table on six points with Leverkusen in ninth on three.
