RB Leipzig takes advantage of BVB mistakes: 2-0 against Gladbach. Xavi Simons (14th minute) and Lois Openda (57th) scored to make it 1-0.

The game was overshadowed by two deaths in the fan scene. The Leipzig team wore a special black jersey with a flame design and the words “Leipzig on fire’ on their necks. The German cup winners reduced the gap to fourth place in the Bundesliga to one point.
