RB Leipzig defeated Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in their Bundesliga clash on Sunday evening. The match was a closely contested affair, but RB Leipzig emerged victorious thanks to a brace from Oliver Griezmann and a goal from substitute Marcel Sabitzer.

In the first half, RB Leipzig dominated possession and created several chances, but it took them until the 55th minute for their efforts to pay off. A long-range effort from Yussuf Poulsen was saved by goalkeeper Roman Buerki, but the rebound found the feet of Oliver Griezmann who slotted home his shot past the helpless Buerki.

The second half saw RB Leipzig continue to dominate proceedings, but they were unable to add to their lead. However, they did manage to reduce the deficit when Nkunku scored in the 74th minute. The French midfielder played a neat one-two with Griezmann before slotting home from close range.

Despite being behind, Borussia Dortmund pushed forward in search of an equalizer, but they were unable to find the back of the net. In the end, RB Leipzig held on for a much-needed victory that moves them up to fifth place in the table.

Oliver Griezmann's two goals were instrumental in RB Leipzig's win, while Nkunku's late strike gave the team some much-needed breathing space. It will be interesting to see how this result affects the teams' title hopes in the coming weeks.
