Leipzig celebrates: 1-0 win against Wolfsburg – coach under pressure!

On September 27, 2025, the Bundesliga was once again the big topic in the local discussion groups. RB Leipzig won the home game against VfL Wolfsburg 1-0. The hero of the evening was Johan Bakayoko, who scored the only goal of the game in the 8th minute. With this victory, Leipzig have now achieved four wins in a row after a bitter 6-0 defeat against Bayern Munich. In contrast, Wolfsburg are still waiting for a sense of success and are stuck in the relegation battle with their second defeat in a row, having only collected one point from their last four games.

The game got off to an exciting start when Leipzig's early goal was disallowed for offside after just five minutes. However, Bakayoko took advantage of winning the ball in midfield and took the early lead in the 8th minute. In conclusion, one can say that Wolfsburg's defensive line once again struggled to prevent an early goal.

Wolfsburg's missed chances

Wolfsburg tried to get into the game and had promising chances through Kilian Fischer (16th minute) and Maximilian Arnold (20th minute). But their efforts often went unrewarded. Leipzig also had its chances, especially through Bakayoko, who was denied by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara in the 25th minute and hit the crossbar in the 48th minute. A free kick from Raum (60th minute) also went just over the goal.

VfL coach Paul Simonis brought in fresh players in the second half, including the experienced Christian Eriksen in the 70th minute, to turn things around. A shot from Dzenan Pejcinovic hit the crossbar in the 74th minute, while Adam Daghim missed a header chance in the 83rd minute. Despite a total of 22 shots on goal, Wolfsburg failed to equalize.

Drama in added time

Shortly before the end, things got dramatic again: Christoph Baumgartner from RB Leipzig missed a penalty in the 90th minute - a great opportunity to extend the lead. Wolfsburg were no longer able to strike in stoppage time, so Leipzig managed to secure a narrow victory over time.

The table shows that RB Leipzig is now in a solid 4th place, while Wolfsburg, currently in 14th place, urgently needs points to move away from the relegation places. The next challenge for Wolfsburg is the home game against FC Augsburg, while Leipzig will face Borussia Dortmund.

The statistics speak for themselves: Leipzig have won 10 times against Wolfsburg in the last 21 matches, while Wolfsburg have only managed to win five times during this time. The next few weeks will show whether both Leipzig and Wolfsburg can turn things around again.

The local football fans are excited about the upcoming matches and are hoping for fresh inspiration, especially from VfL Wolfsburg. Maybe the next match day will bring the turning point.
