RB Leipzig secured their place in the Bundesliga top four after edging Hertha BSC 2-1 on Saturday evening. The match saw RB Leipzig take control early on through goals from Oliver Grotzkyj and Marcel Sabitzer. However, Hertha BSC fought back strongly in the second half and were level at 1-1 thanks to a goal from Christian Seis.
Despite being behind for much of the game, RB Leipzig refused to give up and eventually found a way back into the match. They took the lead once more through a stunning strike from Yussuf Poulsen before sealing the win in the final minutes through another goal from Grotzkyj.
The victory sees RB Leipzig move up to fifth in the table, just two points off the Champions League places. With games against Augsburg and Schalke coming up, they will be looking to maintain their momentum as they continue to push for a spot in Europe's elite competition.
For Hertha BSC, it was a disappointing night as they were unable to secure any points despite having several chances to do so. Their poor form has seen them drop down to 15th in the table, but there is still hope that they can turn things around if they can find some consistency going forward.
Overall, this result is a big boost for RB Leipzig who have now secured their place in the top four. It also serves as a reminder that even teams who look unlikely to challenge for major honours can still make significant progress in the league by staying focused and consistent.
