Emil Forsberg, well served by Loïs Openda, managed to restore the advantage to his team (2-1, 71st) before Mohamed Simakan widened the gap in stride (3-1, 74th). In the final moments, the locals even almost scored a fourth goal but Hoffenheim ultimately lost 3-1. Great operation for RB Leipzig which overtakes Stuttgart, climbs onto the podium and comes back level with Bayern Munich as well as four points behind the leader, Bayer Leverkusen.
