RB Leipzig delivered a commanding second-half performance on Sunday, netting three goals to comfortably overcome 10-man Union Berlin 3-0. This victory brought an end to Union Berlin's impressive club record unbeaten streak at home.

The breakthrough came in the 51st minute when Xavi Simons unleashed a spectacular strike from the edge of the box, nestling the ball into the top corner of the net. The first half had been relatively subdued, with both teams having limited opportunities.

Union Berlin's hopes further dwindled in the 64th minute when Kevin Volland received a straight red card for a foul on Mohamed Simakan. Dani Olmo came close to adding another goal, but his curling shot was brilliantly tipped over the crossbar by goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow.

As Union Berlin pushed forward in search of an equalizer, RB Leipzig capitalized on the opportunities. Substitute Benjamin Sesko became the hero, scoring twice in just two minutes late in the game. Sesko's first goal came in the 85th minute when he raced onto a superb pass from Simons and calmly found the back of the net. Two minutes later, he headed home Leipzig's third goal, sealing the victory for his team.

This triumph lifted RB Leipzig to six points, putting them on equal footing with Union Berlin. However, they trail Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen by three points, as both of these teams have won all three of their opening league matches in the current season. Additionally, RB Leipzig will also compete in this season's Champions League group stage, further adding to their impressive run.
