In the opening stages of the match, Dortmund created the better opportunities but were unable to find the back of the net. It wasn't until the second half that the hosts began to exert more pressure on the RB Leipzig defense.

However, RB Leipzig refused to give up, and they continued to press for an equaliser. They finally broke through in the 88th minute when Nkunku scored his second goal of the game. He capitalized on a defensive error from Dortmund, and he calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper to secure the victory for his team.
Overall, it was a thrilling match between two top-tier sides. Both teams showcased their attacking prowess, and it was a close contest right until the final whistle. RB Leipzig will be delighted with their first win of the season, while Borussia Dortmund will be disappointed with their inability to find the back of the net in all three matches so far this season.
