Xavi Simons Guides Leipzig Past Wolfsburg Despite Late Comeback
The Netherlands attacker Xavi Simons scored twice as RB Leipzig held on to beat Wolfsburg 3-2 to move up to the fourth and final Champions League berth in the German Bundesliga table. Simons netted either side of the break taking Leipzig above Mainz, who head to lowly Hoffenheim on Saturday. The 21-year-old's contributions came after Lois Openda's 11th-minute opener but before Wolfsburg gave the visitors to the Volkswagen Arena a real scare. Just before the hour mark defender Kilian Fischer cut the deficit to two goals before attacker Andreas Skov Olsen slashed it to one with a quarter of an hour to play.
