(Bundesliga 2022/2023): Highlights VfL Bochum - RB Leipzig

Thomas Leitsch of Borkum and Marco Walser of Leipzig, former coaching colleagues at Salzburg, meeting for the second time in the Bundesliga. Walser's Leipzig keen to get Tuesday's club record loss at Manchester City out of their systems, and they had the best of an attritional first half. Timo Werner shot over the crossbar. The game every bit the battle Walser had predicted it would be. A goalless first half, but a platform on which to build for Borkum. And build they did. Just after half-time, Christopher-Andre Ajay's throw-in, helped on by Philipp Hofmann. Takuma Asano denied by Yanis Blazsvish. But there was Erhan Nasibic. He hadn't scored in his first six years in professional football, but this, his fourth goal in seven games in the Bundesliga. Leipzig came to life as the half wore on. Dominic Sobost lay a menace, and his cross looked perfect for Andre Silva, who inexplicably failed to finish when really he should have done. And Borkum did not just sit back. Just past the hour mark, danger again. And via J for Asano. The Japanese could not add to his side's slender advantage. He scored just once in this season's Bundesliga. Home goalkeeper Manuel Riemann had been in tears after the last game, the win in Cologne, and he came to the full late in this one, first denying Andre Silva on 65 minutes. Riemann had earned his good fortune when Sobost's slalom run took him into a scoring position. Andre Silva shot off the Hungarians' toes, but the ball back off the post and straight into Riemann's grateful gloves. A dramatic late let-off for Borkum, just their fourth clean sheet of the Bundesliga season. Successive wins for Lechis Borkum has them in polled position to stay in the Bundesliga, Riemann in his defence ensuring a difficult end to a torrid week for Leipzig.
