The match started off brightly for the visitors, who created numerous opportunities through their attacking play. However, they were unable to find the back of the net until the 72nd minute when Maxence Llodève scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season.

The goal came after RB Leipzig defender Benjamin Kimmich had been booked for a foul on Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho. The referee awarded a penalty which was converted by Maxence Llodève to give RB Leipzig the lead.

Overall, this was a thrilling match that showcased the skill and determination of both teams. While RB Leipzig may have won the match, they know that there is still work to be done if they want to secure the top spot in the Bundesliga. With their next game against Augsburg coming up, RB Leipzig will need to put in another strong performance if they want to maintain their position at the top of the table.
