DORTMUND: Goals from Benjamin Sesko and Lois Openda took RB Leipzig to a 2-1 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday, days out from their trip to league leaders Bayern Munich. Sesko headed in a rebound after 19 minutes but Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown equalised with a clever solo effort on the 41-minute mark. Openda, who was unlucky to be called offside when Leipzig’s Christoph Baumgartner scored just one minute into the game, put the hosts back in front with a trademark rocket after 51 minutes. Leipzig’s Baumgartner toasted his side’s “hard bit of work”. He added: “We’ve got quality up front and we’ve got speed. We’ve got to keep going like this against Munich. We might not have as many chances as we did today, but we’ll go there and see what’s possible.” The win meant Leipzig drew level with Frankfurt on 27 points, six behind Bayern. Leipzig face Bayern in Munich on Friday. Leipzig could move within three points of the leaders with a win. Frankfurt are winless in four games. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund’s recent struggles continued when former BVB forward Jacob Bruun Larsen netted a last-gasp equaliser for Hoffenheim in a 1-1 draw earlier on Sunday at the Westfalenstadion. Dortmund have not won since November in the league and now sit eighth, 11 points off Bayern. Gio Reyna put Dortmund in front in the first minute but Larsen equalised in the stoppage time. Elsewhere, VfB Stuttgart won 3-1 away at Heidenheim to climb up to sixth.
