⏰ Three goals in nine minutes, Bundesliga top clash springs to life | OneFootball

After an initial half hour with few highlights, the Bundesliga top match between RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen really picked up speed just before halftime!

In just nine minutes, three really beautiful goals were scored. It all started in the 35th minute with an impressive dribble from Xaver Schlager, who left two opponents standing and then fired a powerful shot from around 16 meters into the bottom left corner to put his team in the lead. 

And then, we all surely remember the goal of the century with the backheel from Leverkusen’s Martin Terrier last week – today’s goal didn’t quite fall into that category, but it was still a sight to behold. He headed an Arthur cross from close range unstoppably into the far corner, equalizing Leverkusen’s deficit.

Just four minutes later, his teammate Patrik Schick took heart and left Nedeljkovic sliding into nowhere in the penalty area before smashing the ball from close range into the top right corner. 

So, the game was turned around – and all in just a few minutes. With the Werkself leading 2-1 away, the teams headed into the locker rooms. 

With so much spectacle in the last few minutes, we can certainly look forward to seeing what beautiful goals Schick, Schlager, and company have in store for the second half.
