Zenit v RB Leipzig Live Commentary, 11/5/19

So, Leipzig go five points clear at the top of Group G and put themselves in a strong position to qualify for the knockout rounds. They're winning run continues and Nagelsmann will want to carry this momentum into their game against Hertha Berlin at the weekend. Zenit stay second in the table for now, but that will change after Lyon and Benfica play later on.

A goal in each half seals a 2-0 victory for RB Leipzig over Zenit. Leipzig thought they'd taken the lead early on when Halstenberg drilled his long-range shot into the bottom left corner, only for VAR to disallow it as Nkunku had handballed it in the build-up.
