3-0 win at home - RBL off to a successful start in the Bundesliga

RB Leipzig secured a strong start to their Bundesliga campaign with a 3-0 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach at home. The Red Bulls dominated proceedings from the outset, with a well-executed give-and-go between Tidiam Gomis and Ridle Baku resulting in Baku scoring the opening goal in the 26th minute. The home side maintained their advantage after the break, with Antonio Nusa setting up the second goal in the 49th minute, sending a powerful shot under the bar past Gladbach's goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas.

The Red Bulls celebrated a comfortable win, with Martín Demichelis making his debut as a touchline coach for the Bundesliga debut.
