# RB Leipzig Secure First Win with Nkunku Doubles
RB Leipzig kicked off their Bundesliga campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, marking their first win of the season. The match was a thrilling encounter, with both sides creating chances, but it was RB Leipzig who ultimately emerged victorious thanks to two goals from their star striker, Dominik Nkunku.
## A Tale of Two Goals
The game started at a steady pace, with both teams looking to impose their styles. RB Leipzig, with their signature high-pressing style, aimed to exploit Frankfurt's defensive vulnerabilities. Dominik Nkunku, the league’s top scorer from last season, played a pivotal role in the first goal. After a well-executed counter-attack, Nkunku received a pinpoint cross from Emil Halsted, and with a clinical finish, he gave RB Leipzig the lead in the 15th minute.
The second goal came just 10 minutes later, and it was Nkunku again who proved decisive. A perfectly timed through ball from Konrad Laimer found Nkunku, who this time finished with a powerful strike from outside the box. This goal not only doubled his tally for the season but also extended RB Leipzig’s lead to 2-0.
## A Challenging Opponent
While Nkunku was the hero, RB Leipzig’s victory was also thanks to their defensive resilience. Eintracht Frankfurt, known for their attacking prowess, struggled to break down Leipzig’s compact defense. The visitors’ key players, such as Andre Silva and Rafael Borque, had few clear chances, and Leipzig’s midfield duo of Laimer and Marcel Sabitzer dominated the middle third of the pitch.
## A Glimpse of the Future
The win was RB Leipzig’s first of the season, and it came against a strong opponent in Eintracht Frankfurt. This result will give the Red Bulls confidence heading into the rest of the campaign. Nkunku, who has now scored twice in two games, is looking like a key asset for Leipzig this season.
RB Leipzig’s defensive solidity and Nkunku’s attacking prowess will be crucial as they aim to challenge for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga. With this victory under their belt, the Red Bulls are ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming fixtures.
