Maximilian Mittelstaedt put the home side ahead in the 32nd with a thundering shot, but Leipzig's Timo Werner responded with a penalty six minutes later before Marcel Sabitzer turned the game around on the stroke of halftime with a deflected shot.

Kevin Kampl then timed his run down the left wing to perfection to beat the offside trap and drill in Leipzig's third in the 86th minute.

Werner then tapped in his 11th goal of the campaign in stoppage time before Davie Selke pulled one back for the hosts seconds later.
