# RB Leipzig Secure Victory Over Hertha BSC in Bundesliga Round 12
RB Leipzig continued their impressive form in Bundesliga Round 12, securing a 3-1 victory over Hertha BSC. The win extended the Red Bulls' winning streak and solidified their position in the top half of the table, with key players like Alexander Groß and Dominik Szoboszlai leading the charge.
Leipzig dominated from the start, with striker Alexander Olmo netting a brace in the first half. Olmo opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a clinical finish, and he doubled his tally just before halftime with a powerful strike from outside the box. Hertha, despite their defensive efforts, struggled to contain Leipzig's attacking trio, which includes the in-form Olmo and the creative Szoboszlai.
The Red Bulls' defense also played a crucial role, limiting Hertha to minimal chances. Leipzig's organization and pressing game allowed them to control the tempo, and Szoboszlai's assist for Olmo's second goal showcased their chemistry. The visitors' only consolation came from a late goal by Hertha's Maximilian Eggest, but it was insufficient to overturn the deficit.
Hertha coach Franco Foda acknowledged his side's struggles, stating, "Leipzig's pressing made it difficult for us to create chances. We need to work on our counter-attacks." The loss leaves Hertha in 11th place, while Leipzig climbs to fourth in the Bundesliga standings, just three points behind second-placed Bayern Munich.
This victory highlights Leipzig's growing confidence as they aim to challenge for the title. With players like Olmo and Szoboszlai in top form, the Red Bulls are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Bundesliga. Their next match is against Borussia Mönchengladbach, and a win would see them move closer to their goal of finishing in the top two.
