Updated:2025-11-16 08:32 Views:197The thrilling start to the Bundesliga season was on display as RB Leipzig secured their first victory of the campaign, thanks to goals from Christian Nkunku and Samuel Eto'o in a 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the Allianz Arena.
With just one point separating them from second-placed Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig had been underdogs all season and this win was a significant boost for their confidence ahead of the Europa League group stage.
Nkunku opened the scoring in the 5th minute after a long-range strike from a corner kick, before Eto'o added his name to the scoreline with a powerful volley in the 64th minute.
It was a great display by both players, who were confident that they could dominate possession and create chances themselves.
The team's defensive play was also impressive, with several key saves made throughout the match, including a superb save from Manuel Neuer in the 78th minute.
Despite the early goal deficit, RB Leipzig fought back to level the scores in the 90th minute when Nkunku headed in a penalty after a header from a corner.
In the final minutes of the game, a well-taken penalty gave Eintracht Frankfurt a deserved draw, but RB Leipzig proved too strong and held on for the win.
Overall, it was another impressive performance from RB Leipzig, who have now won four out of their last five matches and remain one point behind Dortmund in the standings. With a trip to Borussia Dortmund next week looming, the team will be looking to build upon this victory and continue their winning ways.
