LEIPZIG, Germany : RB Leipzig snapped their four-match winless streak in the Bundesliga with a 2-0 home victory over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, boosting their hopes of finishing in the top four.

The win moved Leipzig up to fifth in the table on 42 points after 26 games, level with fourth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, who travel to VfL Bochum on Sunday. Dortmund, who have had a dreadful league campaign so far, are 11th.

Leipzig shot out of the blocks and had a number of chances early on, with Xavi Simons opening their account in the 18th minute, lashing home a rebound after Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel denied left back David Raum.

The hosts doubled their lead after the interval through Lois Openda, who was left unmarked at the far post during a corner and showed excellent technique to volley Simons' delivery into the net in the 48th minute.
