RB Leipzig deliver second-half masterclass to defeat Elversberg and extend home record

· Bundesliga-Official

RB Leipzig scored four second-half goals as Martin Demichelis’ side extended their record run of Bundesliga victories at the Red Bull Arena against Elversberg.

Goals: 1-0 Gomis 48’ (assist: Nusa), 2-0 Rômulo 66’ (assist: Nusa), 3-0 Baumgartner (assist: Gruda), 4-0 Rômulo 90’+4 (assist: Koné)

Leipzig boss Martín Demichelis opted to ring the changes after Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League defeat to Real Madrid, making eight alterations to his starting XI. Willi Orbán, Antonio Nusa and Neil El Aynaoui were the only players to keep their place in the side, while Christopher Nkunku was absent with a groin injury.

Vincent Wagner made only one change to the Elversberg side that beat Augsburg last weekend. Frederik Schmahl, who scored Elversberg’s fourth against Manuel Baum’s charges on Matchday 6, was handed his full Bundesliga debut in place of Noah Darvich, who was unavailable with a muscle issue.
