RB Leipzig have secured their place at the top of the Bundesliga table after thrashing Mainz 05 2-0 on Sunday evening. The victory was a much-needed one for the German club, who had suffered defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt earlier in the week.
The match started off with RB Leipzig controlling the tempo of the game, but it wasn't until the 28th minute that they were able to break the deadlock. A well-taken goal from Oliver Nagelsmann's side put them ahead before the half-time whistle.
In the second half, RB Leipzig continued to dominate the game and were able to extend their lead just moments later through a strike from Timo Werner. The striker's effort was a result of some good play down the left flank, and he did not waste the opportunity to make it 2-0.
Despite having a comfortable lead, RB Leipzig didn't let up in the final stages of the match. They defended resolutely and made sure to keep Mainz at bay as they looked to hold onto their advantage.
Overall, this was a very impressive display of football from RB Leipzig. They showed great composure and control throughout the game and were able to take full advantage of any opportunities that came their way. It is clear that they are a team on the rise and will be looking to continue their success in future matches.
