RB Leipzig came from behind to beat visitors Zenit St Petersburg 2-1 on Wednesday and took control of Champions’ League Group G.

The hosts, who had lost to Olympique Lyonnais in the previous match day, almost scored after one minute when Konrad Laimer’s shot was tipped on to the crossbar by the Zenit keeper.

But it was the visitors who struck first and against the run of play when Yaroslav Rakitskyy chested down a loose ball and released from 25 yards to beat Leipzig’s goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi in the 25th minute.

The hosts, who came from a four-game winless run in all competitions, shot out of the blocks after the break and within 15 minutes had turned the table around.

Laimer made amends for his earlier miss scoring from a Marcel Sabitzer assist in the 49th. Sabitzer then turned scorer, rifling in an unstoppable shot into the top corner for what could well be the goal of the match day in the 59th minute.

The Russians came close to equalising but substitute Yordan Osorio’s shot went over the bar.

Matheus Cunha was even more wasteful for Leipzig when he twice had only keeper Mikhail Kerzhakov to beat and both times missed the target.

Leipzig are now top of Group G on six points from three matches, two ahead of Zenit and Lyon, who lost to Benfica 1-2 in the group’s other match on Wednesday.
