RB Leipzig dominated Augsburg with a 4-0 victory, featuring a brace from Benjamin Šeško and stellar performances from Xavi Simons and Loïs Openda. The win extends Leipzig's unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 16 games.

The match began with RB Leipzig asserting their dominance early on. In the 11th minute, Šeško broke the deadlock with a spectacular long-range effort. The Slovenian striker received a clever backheel from Openda before unleashing a shot from 25 meters that flew into the bottom left corner. Just four minutes later, Šeško doubled Leipzig's lead with a well-placed header from David Raum's pinpoint cross. Augsburg had a golden opportunity to get back into the game in the 27th minute when they were awarded a penalty. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw stepped up to take the spot-kick, but Péter Gulácsi produced a magnificent save.

Any hopes of an Augsburg revival were swiftly extinguished just 36 seconds into the second half. Xavi showcased his vision with a delightful through ball to Openda, who calmly rounded the goalkeeper before slotting home Leipzig's third. The home side's relentless attack continued, and in the 57th minute, Xavi capped off a stellar performance with a goal of his own. The Dutch midfielder received the ball on the edge of the box and unleashed a fierce volley that flew into the top corner, leaving Augsburg's goalkeeper Nediljko Labrović with no chance.
