RB Leipzig secured their place in the Champions League knockout stage after defeating Borussia Dortmund 3-2 at home on Wednesday night.

The match was a closely contested affair, but it was RB Leipzig who came out on top thanks to goals from young talent Timo Werner and Bruno Fernandes.

Werner scored the opening goal for RB Leipzig in the 15th minute, before Fernandes doubled their lead just five minutes later. Dortmund pulled one back through Jadon Sancho's header in the 48th minute, but they were unable to find the equaliser as RB Leipzig held on for the win.

Szoboszlai and Nkunku also had a role to play in the victory, with the Hungarian midfielder scoring the third goal for RB Leipzig in the 77th minute. The two players have been key figures for RB Leipzig this season, with Szoboszlai being particularly impressive.

This result means that RB Leipzig will be playing in the round of 16 of the Champions League next week, while Dortmund will face Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.

Overall, it was a fantastic performance from RB Leipzig, and they deserve credit for their victory against such a strong opposition. They now have a chance to make it into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and we'll have to wait and see how far they can take this run.
