RB Leipzig have secured their third victory of the season with a hard-fought win over TSG Hoffenheim at Red Bull Arena on Saturday evening. The match was filled with intensity and tension as both sides looked to secure all three points.

RB Leipzig got off to a strong start in the first half, creating numerous chances for themselves but failing to convert them into goals. However, they were rewarded for their persistence when Raphinha found the back of the net in the 45th minute.

The second half saw RB Leipzig continue to dominate possession and create more opportunities, but it wasn't until the 81st minute that they finally took the lead through Nkunku's goal. The forward scored with a powerful shot from outside the box, giving RB Leipzig a 2-0 lead going into stoppage time.

Despite the lead, Hoffenheim refused to give up and created several chances in the final minutes of the match. However, it was RB Leipzig who managed to hold on to their advantage and secure a crucial victory.

In other news, RB Leipzig defender Stefan Sestoft has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to an injury sustained during the match against Hoffenheim. The club will be hoping that he recovers quickly and returns to full fitness in time for the next game.

Overall, this victory is another important step towards securing a top-four finish for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga this season. They now look ahead to their next match against Union Berlin on Sunday, where they will be looking to extend their winning run even further.
