RB Leipzig has taken another step forward in their bid to challenge for the Bundesliga title this season as they beat TSG Hoffenheim 3-2 at home on Sunday.

The match was a closely contested affair with both sides creating numerous chances throughout the game. However, it was RB Leipzig who emerged victorious thanks to a double from Brazilian winger Bruno Nkunku.

Nkunku's first goal came early on in the second half after he found space on the right wing and sent in a cross that found its way into the net. The second goal came later in the match when Nkunku received a pass from Timo Werner and fired past Hoffenheim goalkeeper Niklas Sule.

Despite being down two goals, Hoffenheim fought back and equalized through a penalty awarded by VAR for a handball in the area. However, RB Leipzig were able to hold onto their lead and secure all three points.

The win moves RB Leipzig up to fifth place in the league table and puts them within touching distance of the top four spots. They will now look to continue their good form in the remaining matches of the season to secure a top-four finish and potentially qualify for next season's Champions League.

Overall, it was a great display of attacking football from RB Leipzig against Hoffenheim, and it was a much-needed boost for the team as they aim to push on towards the end of the season.
