RB Leipzig triumphed 4-0 over SV Elversberg in a dominant Bundesliga performance.

The Bundesliga clash took place on 24 October 2026 at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig. Both sides entered the match with the home side eager to build momentum early in the season, while the visitors from Elversberg looked to test themselves against a top-flight opponent.

How it unfolded

The first half remained goalless, with Leipzig probing for an opening while Elversberg defended resolutely. The deadlock was finally broken shortly after the interval when, in the 48th minute, Tidiam Gomis struck a left-footed shot from the centre of the box into the bottom left corner, finishing off a move set up by Antonio Nusa.

Just eleven minutes later, Leipzig’s intensity paid further dividends. In the 59th minute Rocco Reitz was shown a yellow card for a bad foul, but the setback did not halt the home side’s flow.

The second goal arrived in the 66th minute. Rômulo received a fast-break pass from Antonio Nusa and fired a right-footed shot from the right side of the box into the centre of the net, extending Leipzig’s lead to 2-0.

SV Elversberg’s frustrations grew and were reflected in a booking in the 74th minute when Lasse Günther received a yellow card for a bad foul.

Leipzig’s third strike came from a set-piece situation. After a corner, Brajan Gruda delivered a cross that was met by Christoph Baumgartner, who headed the ball from very close range into the top left corner in the 84th minute, making it 3-0.

The final blow was added in stoppage time. In the 90+4 minute, Rômulo completed his brace with a left-footed finish from very close range, this time assisted by Abdoul Koné, sealing a 4-0 result.
