German Bundesliga
Leipzig vs. Bremen from 3.30 pm LIVE
RB Leipzig have made a successful start to 2025! Coach Marco Rose's side won 4-2 at home to Werder Bremen on Sunday, thanks in part to a goal from Christoph Baumgartner (90'), and remain fourth in the German Bundesliga table after the 16th round.
Nicolas Seiwald played on the right side of the back three, with Baumgartner coming on from the 65th minute. Xaver Schlager was absent due to a knee injury.
Before the break, Xavi Simons was outstanding in his Leipzig kit in front of Jürgen Klopp, the new Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull. He scored twice (24, 35), and both times Werder's Tyrolean Marco Friedl was unable to defend against the Dutchman's high quality in a direct duel.
Friedl stayed in the dressing room at the break
In between, Mitchell Weiser (26) had scored with his heel after some remarkable preparatory work by Marco Grüll. Seiwald was not close enough to the goalscorer. Friedl stayed in the dressing room for the break, followed by Grüll in the 67th minute. By then it was already 3:1 after a goal from Benjamin Sesko (47').
Baumgartner scored 4:1 from the edge of the penalty area, his first league goal of the season and the 25-year-old from Lower Austria's fourth in a competitive match. Oliver Burke (93') then came close to leveling the scores in the counter-attack, with Seiwald once again not looking good.
Nevertheless, Bremen suffered another defeat after four competitive matches. Romano Schmid, who played through the midfield, was unable to change that. Bremen dropped back to ninth place and the gap to Leipzig in the battle for a Champions League place grew to five points.
Stuttgart win with Undav goal
Neo-seventh-placed VfB Stuttgart, who won 1-0 at twelfth-placed FC Augsburg thanks to a goal from "joker" Deniz Undav (65th), are just four points off fourth place.
