# Bundesliga Round 14: RB Leipzig Triumphs Over TSG Hoffenheim With Two Goals From Nkunku
RB Leipzig secured a comfortable 2-1 victory over TSG Hoffenheim in Round 14 of the Bundesliga, thanks to a brace from French midfielder Amine Nkunku. The match, played at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, saw both teams create chances, but it was Nkunku who ultimately decided the outcome with his two well-taken goals.
Leipzig dominated possession early on and made a breakthrough in the 16th minute when Nkunku finished a clinical counter-attack with a powerful strike. Hoffenheim responded well and almost leveled the score in the 34th minute when Kevin Volland’s effort hit the crossbar. Despite the visitors’ pressure, Leipzig maintained control and doubled their lead just before halftime through another Nkunku goal, this time a composed finish from inside the box.
Hoffenheim, who were looking to extend their recent good form, pulled one back in the 63rd minute through a well-placed header by Andre Hahn. However, Leipzig’s defense held firm, and despite a late surge from Hoffenheim, the visitors couldn’t find an equalizer.
Nkunku’s performance was a standout, as his two goals and overall work rate earned him man-of-the-match honors. Leipzig’s defensive solidity, led by goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, also played a crucial role in keeping Hoffenheim at bay.
The win moves Leipzig to seventh place in the Bundesliga standings, while Hoffenheim drops to ninth. With the playoff spots still up for grabs, both teams will aim to build momentum in their next matches.
Overall, a thrilling match at Red Bull Arena showcased the quality of Leipzig’s squad and their ability to handle pressure, while Hoffenheim’s defensive vulnerabilities were exposed once again.
