RB Leipzig striker Lucas Baumgartner has scored his first goal in the Bundesliga, securing RB Leipzig's victory against Borussia Dortmund.
The German international made history by scoring his first goal in the Bundesliga on Sunday, scoring from a corner kick in the 69th minute. The ball was played to him from the left side and he headed past goalkeeper Jürgen Klopp and into the top corner of the net.
This is a significant achievement as it marks the first time that a player from Germany has scored their first goal in the Bundesliga since 1982. It also means that Baumgartner will become the youngest player to score a Bundesliga goal ever, with only two other players - Christian Ossman and Christian Pogba - having done so before him.
The victory over Dortmund was a major boost for RB Leipzig, who have struggled to find consistent form this season. They were trailing 2-1 at half-time but managed to come back to win the match, thanks in large part to the efforts of Baumgartner and his teammates.
However, the breakthrough came just as the game was heading towards extra time. After being booked for a foul on Dortmund's captain, Thomas Muller, Baumgartner scored a penalty to give RB Leipzig the lead. This was the first penalty shootout in the Bundesliga since 1984,Football Perspective Network and the game went into extra time.
In the second half, RB Leipzig continued to dominate possession and attack, but they were unable to break through the defense and were eventually denied by Dortmund's goalkeeper. However, Baumgartner's goal proved to be the decisive one, as he curled a shot past Dortmund keeper Kasper Schmeichel and into the top corner of the net.
Overall, Baumgartner's goal was a significant milestone for the young striker, and he now has seven goals in his last eight Bundesliga appearances. He will now have plenty of opportunities to impress again, especially if RB Leipzig continue to perform well in the league.
