After a run of three straight Bundesliga defeats away from the Red Bull Arena, RB Leipzig secured their first victory on the road this season with a 2-0 win at Schalke.
Antonio Nusa opened the scoring from the spot before Rômulo struck his fourth Bundesliga goal in six games this season to secure Martin Demichelis’ side the win.
It was a crucial victory after they struggled to overcome Rot-Weiss Essen in the DFB Pokal in midweek, going behind before Christoph Baumgartner’s brace secured their passage to the last 16.
As for Schalke, they’re yet to score at the Veltins Arena this season following their return to Germany’s top flight after a three-year absence. Although successive goalless draws against Bayern Munich and Elversberg, defeats against Mainz (1-0) and RB Leipzig (2-0) means that only Borussia Mönchengladbach and Mainz have picked up fewer points (one) at home than the Royal Blues.
