Leipzig’s record shopping is slowly gaining momentum …
With his brace in the 4: 1 against Mainz, André Silva (26), who came from Eintracht Frankfurt for 23 million euros in the summer, gives RB a real hope victory. After a weak first half of the season (only 22 points and 10th place), the runner-up is still within striking distance of fourth place in the Champions League.
Silva has only just recovered from a corona infection: The striker was infected on Christmas vacation in his home country Portugal – was only able to free himself this week and start training again on Wednesday.
But that’s enough, because Mainz helps with the first goal after a strong start: First Hack loses the ball against Silva, then he clears the margin with his hand. Red and 911! Silva transforms ice cold (21st). And later made everything clear with his second goal (61st). Already goals four and five in the last six Bundesliga games for the striker!
And also with the other RB gates helps a corona recovered: First, Nkunku (also infected on Christmas vacation) puts on Szoboszlai – 2-0 (47th). After connecting Lee (57th), Nkunku then made it 3-1 himself (58th).
