During the match between Leipzig and Stuttgart on Friday evening, several former Ligue 1 players stood out, not all of them in the right way.
Friday evening, the RB Leipzig signed his first victory of the season in the Bundesliga by beating Stuttgart (5-1) on the second day. This demonstration of the RBL was an opportunity for several former Ligue 1 players to meet for a match, but not all of them had a very good evening.
Xavi Simons and Openda on fire
On the side of Leipzig, xavi simons did a lot of damage to the defense of the VFB. After delivering an assist for the inevitable Dani Olmo, author of five goals in three matches this season, for the 2-1, the Dutch international then served Kevin Kampl from a cleverly played corner before scoring his first goal under his new colors by concluding a superb counter in two stages.
In the meantime, Openda Laws had also offered his first by taking the head of a cross from David Raum.

😱 Nübel’s incredible double dumpling in TWO MINUTES! https://t.co/MiJEY98s6s— beIN SPORTS (@beinsports_FR) August 25, 2023
In Stuttgart, the former Monegasque Alexander Nubel had a bad night. Everything had started well with the opener of the ex-Rennais Sehou Guirassy, but the German goalkeeper put Leipzig back on track by clearing Benjamin Henrichs for the equalizer for the locals. Two minutes later, he was guilty of a new dumpling causing an Openda goal, finally disallowed after consulting the VAR. The sequel will not be happier since Nübel will have been looking for the ball five times in his goals in the second period.
