In the Bundesliga Round 14, RB Leipzig defeated Hoffenheim with two goals apiece from Nkunku and Kimmich. The victory was crucial as RB Leipzig needed to secure a top-four spot to avoid relegation.
Nkunku and Kimmich scored early on in the game with goals that were decisive for RB Leipzig. Nkunku headed home a header from a corner kick and then followed it up with a shot that hit the crossbar and bounced off the post before bouncing back into the net. This goal gave RB Leipzig a commanding lead and they were soon behind after a header by Nkunku that found its way past Hoffenheim goalkeeper Jürgen Brandt.
Kimmich also had his say in the second half as he doubled RB Leipzig's lead with another goal. After a quick corner, Kimmich headed a long ball towards the right side of the pitch where he was able to beat Hoffenheim keeper Christian Schneider and head the ball past the helpless Hoffenheim goalkeeper.
The result was RB Leipzig's first win in the Bundesliga this season and they will now need to finish their campaign strong in order to avoid relegation. With just four games remaining, RB Leipzig must aim to continue their good form if they want to stay in the top four. They have already secured a top-four place with a solid performance against Hoffenheim and could even qualify for the Champions League next season. However, if they lose at Hoffenheim, it would be tough for RB Leipzig to secure a top-four spot and prevent relegation.
