RB Leipzig's Nkunku scored the winner to secure their first league victory of the season, defeating Gladbach 1-0 at the Stadion Wacker in Leipzig on Saturday night.
The victory marks RB Leipzig's second straight win and gives them a commanding lead over rivals Schalke 04 and FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga table. The win also puts RB Leipzig within striking distance of securing automatic promotion to the top flight next season.
Nkunku's goal was his first for the club this season, after he had made only one appearance in all competitions last season. He has been a key player for RB Leipzig, scoring four goals in 15 appearances so far this season.
However, RB Leipzig will face a tough challenge in the upcoming round of fixtures, with Schalke 04 and FC Augsburg both set to be among their opponents. RB Leipzig will need to continue playing well in order to maintain their position in the top four of the Bundesliga table.
In addition to Nkunku, RB Leipzig also features two other players who have impressed during the season. Alexander Lindner and Maxime Koechlin have both been instrumental in helping RB Leipzig improve their defensive stability, while goalkeeper Christian Alaba has also played a crucial role in keeping RB Leipzig's defense together.
Overall, RB Leipzig's performance in the Bundesliga round 28 is a testament to their hard work and determination. With the victory over Gladbach, they remain firmly in the driver's seat in the standings and should look to keep up their momentum going into the remaining rounds of the season.
