The Netherlands striker Xavi Simons scored twice while RB Leipzig maintained himself to beat Wolfsburg 3-2 to go to the fourth and last place in the Champions League in the German Bundesliga table. Simons scored on each side of the break taking Leipzig above Mayin, who heads for Hoffenheim on Saturday. The 21 -year -old contributions occurred after the opening of Openda laws in the 11th minute, but before Wolfsburg gave visitors to the Volkswagen Arena a real fear. Just before the hour, defender Kilian Fischer reduced the two -way deficit before striker Andreas Skov Olsen made him one with a quarter of an hour to play.
Leipzig, however, held up and even replaced Simons by midfielder Amadou Haidara with five minutes to play to close the match.
Wolfsburg stays in 12th place, six points from the conference league with five games to play after losing a fourth consecutive game.
The highlight of the German High Vol is the house of Bayern Munich “ Klassiker ” with Borussia Dortmund with the two parties facing the elimination of the Champions League before the second stages in the quarter-finals next week.
