RB Leipzig have secured their place in the Bundesliga title race after defeating Borussia Dortmund at home on Sunday. The match was a closely contested affair but RB Leipzig emerged victorious thanks to two goals from Timo Werner and one from Yussuf Poulsen.
The first goal came in the 57th minute when Werner received a pass from Stefan Szymczak and slotted it past the Dortmund goalkeeper. The second goal came just four minutes later as Poulsen headed home Werner's cross to make it 2-0 for RB Leipzig.
Dortmund tried to come back into the game but were unable to find the back of the net. In fact, they had several chances to equalize but could not convert them into goals.
Overall, this win is a significant one for RB Leipzig as it puts them within touching distance of the top spot in the league table. They now face Hoffenheim next week, who are currently in fourth place, so there will be no let-up in their pursuit of the title.
In contrast, Dortmund's defeat means that they will need to start winning more games if they want to keep up with the leaders. Their last game was a disappointing one against Schalke, which saw them concede a late equalizer and leave themselves vulnerable going into the final few weeks of the season.
Despite their struggles, Dortmund fans should take heart from the fact that their team still has a fighting chance of challenging for the title. It may not be easy, but with a strong squad and some key players in form, there is always hope for the future.
