**Bundesliga Round 12: RB Leipzig 2-1 Hertha BSC, Olmo and Szoboszlai Contribute to Top-four Position**

RB Leipzig secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Hertha BSC in Round 12 of the Bundesliga, moving them closer to securing a top-four finish. The match, played at Leipzig’s Red Bull Arena, saw the young stars of RB Leipzig shine as they overcame a spirited Hertha BSC side.

The first half was dominated by RB Leipzig, who took the lead through a well-taken goal by Dominik Szoboszlai. The 19-year-old midfielder, known for his creativity and vision, delivered a cross that found Kevin Schur, whose header was saved by Hertha goalkeeper Alexander Schwol. However, Szoboszlai was not to be denied, as he capitalized on a defensive error to slot home from 12 yards. RB Leipzig’s pressure told, and despite Hertha’s efforts to equalize, the home side went into halftime with a 1-0 lead.

The second half saw Hertha BSC fight back, with Jhonny Hector leading the charge. The Colombian midfielder, who has been in fine form this season, pulled a shot wide from a promising position. But Hertha’s pressure finally paid off in the 55th minute when Salomon Kalulu, a late addition due to injury, equalized for the visitors. RB Leipzig, however, responded with a stunning team move that culminated in Szoboszlai delivering a low cross for Ibrahima Konate, who slid in to finish.

Despite Hertha’s late surge, RB Leipzig held on for a 2-1 victory. The win extends their unbeaten run to six games and keeps them in fourth place in the Bundesliga table, three points behind Bayern Munich and two behind Borussia Dortmund. RB Leipzig’s form has been a surprise package this season, with their young stars like Szoboszlai and Konate proving to be the backbone of their success.

For Hertha BSC, the loss marks another disappointing result in their bid for a top-four finish. While Jhonny Hector continues to shine, the visitors’ attack lacks consistency, and their defensive vulnerabilities have cost them points on multiple occasions this season. Hertha will need to improve both ends of the pitch if they are to challenge for a European spot.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, will take confidence from their performance. With key players like Szoboszlai and Konate in top form, the team is well-placed to achieve a historic first Bundesliga title. Their next challenge is a trip to Eintracht Frankfurt, but with their current momentum, RB Leipzig will be confident of maintaining their push for the top-four finish.
