RB Leipzig produced a stunning second-half comeback to defeat SC Freiburg 3-1 and claim top spot in the Bundesliga overnight. Trailing 1-0 at halftime, Leipzig scored three unanswered goals to extend their unbeaten run to 19 games.

Ritsu Doan's 15th-minute header had given Freiburg the lead, ending Peter Gulacsi's record-breaking 514-minute clean sheet streak. Despite Benjamin Sesko's two chances to level before the break, Leipzig struggled to find their rhythm.

However, the introduction of Maarten Vandevoort for the injured Gulacsi at halftime seemed to galvanize Leipzig. Captain Willi Orban equalized in the 48th minute, and Lutsharel Geertruida struck just nine minutes later to put Leipzig ahead.

Lois Openda sealed the victory with a clinical finish, racing past the keeper to make it 3-1. The comeback win cemented Leipzig's position at the top of the table, at least overnight.

Key highlights from the match included:

• Peter Gulacsi's record-breaking clean sheet streak ending at 514 minutes
