Dortmund-Leipzig 2-3: Top four battle won and looks better

Leipzig was the big winner of the four-way derby 14th matchday the Bundesliga and with the 3-2 in Dortmund increased its lead to four points and moved one point closer to Stuttgart, who play on Sunday.

Borussia started the game strongly, had two good moments and spilled the milk in the 15th minute. Mats Hummels committed a foul that left the opponent with no chance, received a red card (initially a penalty and a yellow card) and thus changed the dynamic.

Leipzig took the lead in the 32nd minute through an own goal from Rami Bensebaini, but the hosts fought back and equalized through Niklas Zille in stoppage time.

The difference of one player was clearly visible and in the second half the guests regained the lead in the 54th minute through Christoph Baumgartner and created further chances. Youssef Poulsen scored a third goal in stoppage time and it looked like it was all over, but in the end Leipzig held on to win.

Niklas Filkrug shortened the score in the 90+3 minute and in the end Dortmund had the chance to equalize through Gilles, but in the end it remained 3-2 until the end.
