RB Leipzig defeated Hamburger SV 5:0 at home to climb to fourth in the Bundesliga table. Tidiam Gomis opened the scoring in the 12th minute after a fine pass from Ezechiel Banzuzi, and Antonio Nusa made it 2:0 just before halftime. After the break, Willi Orban scored in the 72nd minute, Christopher Nkunku added a second in the 74th, and Romulo sealed the win in the 77th. Hamburger SV remained pointless and goalless, now sitting at the bottom after two consecutive 0:5 defeats. Assan Ouédraogo was forced off early with a shoulder injury, having previously missed all of August due to a capsular issue in his right shoulder. Martín Demichelis said he was surprised by the amount of negativity directed at the team, while Antonio Nusa called it a good start but admitted there is still room for improvement. Der Standard Sport covered the match in front of 47,800 fans. The win takes RB Leipzig to six points from two games, leaving them six behind leaders SC Freiburg. Their next fixture is an away trip to Bayer Leverkusen on September 20, who currently sit sixth in the table. RB Leipzig have scored four and conceded three this season, with the 5-0 win over Hamburg being their most recent result. Prior to that, they lost 4-1 to Como in the Champions League and 3-1 to Werder Bremen in the league. Maarten Vandevoordt made several saves, stopping shots from David Møller Wolfe and Zakaria El Ouahdi.
