Leipzig win 3-2 at Wolfsburg to kick off the 29th round of the Bundesliga. With their second win in a row, the Saxons move up to fourth place and keep their Champions League chances alive.
Shortly after the break and Xavi Simons' second goal from distance, the game seemed to be over. However, Wolfsburg were not disheartened by the 3-0 scoreline, continued to fight tirelessly and came close again with goals from Kilian Fischer (58') and Andreas Skov Olsen (75'). However, VfL were unable to avert their fourth defeat in a row.
Leipzig closed the gap on Frankfurt in terms of points in the table and moved up to fourth place in the Champions League. Mainz, with Switzerland's Silvan Widmer, can overtake them again with a win at Hoffenheim on Saturday.
