The irresistible Tore-Express from RB Leipzig has stormed into a Champions League place in the Bundesliga. Coach Domenico Tedesco’s team improved to fourth place thanks to the furious 6:1 (4:1) on Sunday at bottom team SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Leipzig is now level on points with SC Freiburg, but has a significantly better goal difference than Breisgau.
With only 14 points after 26 match days, the Fürth team have to intensify their plans for the lower house. Only in the 2012/13 season did they lose that much at home in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund (1:6). In Leverkusen there was a 1:7 in December. Leipzig, on the other hand, remains unbeaten in their 23rd Bundesliga game against a promoted team.
With Nkunku & Silva: The top scorers in RB Leipzig’s history
In front of 9,418 spectators, Jamie Leweling’s Fürth opening goal in the 4th minute seemed like a provocation to the Leipzig team, who were initially taken by surprise. André Silva (17th), Emil Forsberg (32nd), Konrad Laimer (35th) and Benjamin Henrichs (45th) quickly punished helpless Franconians on the defensive in the first half. Mohamed Simakan (59th) and the always dangerous Christopher Nkunku with his 15th goal of the season (69th) made the Fürth debacle perfect. RB only managed six goals abroad in the elite class in 2017/18 at Hertha BSC (6: 2).
