Match Report
RB Leipzig cruised to a 3-1 home win over 1. FC Union Berlin in Bundesliga Round 31, with a devastating first-half double setting the tone at Red Bull Arena.
Max Finkgräfe broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute, and Rômulo doubled the advantage just three minutes later. The visitors' evening got worse when goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow was replaced by Carl Klaus as early as the 31st minute. Ridle Baku put the result beyond doubt in the 63rd minute, and although Danilho Doekhi pulled one back for the visitors in the 78th, there was never any real prospect of a comeback.
The result cements Leipzig's third-place standing and keeps their Champions League charge firmly on track, while Union Berlin suffer a fifth consecutive defeat — a run that raises serious questions for the Berlin side as the season approaches its final stages.
