The highlight of the game was Lois Openda's early goal, scored just 44 seconds into the match, setting a new record for the earliest goal in the current Bundesliga season.
The game began with a bang as Emil Forsberg scored for RB Leipzig in the 24th minute, thanks to some poor positioning from Schuhen.

The first half saw RB Leipzig offering too little for their class and ambitions, but they stepped up their game in the second half, with Dani Olmo returning to the squad for the first time since his knee injury six weeks ago. Despite Timo Werner missing a big chance against SVD keeper Schuhen, the team managed to secure a well-deserved win.
Unfortunately, the match was marred by an incident involving Openda's provocative celebration towards Darmstadt fans, which caused some Lily fans to angrily jump over the fence. Additionally, the Brussels attack affected Henrichs and Openda during their Euro qualifier, but the team managed to overcome these challenges.
In a tragic turn of events, two Swedish fans were shot dead by a terrorist during RB Leipzig players' Euro qualifier, adding a sombre note to the match. Despite these challenges, the team managed to stay focused and secure a victory, demonstrating their resilience and determination.
