Watch: Forsberg's emotional farewell after final RB Leipzig home game

Full-time: Leipzig 3-1 Hoffenheim

A wry smile from Forsberg as he sticks away Šeško's square ball with the last kick of the game, but he knew his teammate was offside in the build-up. Leipzig move six points clear of fifth-placed Dortmund and into third, overnight at least. Hoffenheim stay sixth, but could slip to eighth depending on results on Sunday.

The Liverpool loanee is unmarked as he connects with Poulsen's hanging cross, but Vogt sticks out a boot to block in front of Baumann.

Leipzig subs

It's not been Xavi's day - or Openda's for that matter, though the latter did set up Forsberg's goal for 2-1. Šeško, who scored against Young Boys in midweek, and Carvalho are on.

Third Leipzig goal!

Leipzig are flying now. Forsberg connects with Raum's in-swinging corner at the near post, with a combination of the crossbar and Baumann keeping him out - but there's not stopping Simakan on the rebound. Hammer blow for Hoffenheim.

The Leipzig playmaker overstretches as he tries to win back the ball from Kabak. He appeared to be in some pain initially, but is on his feet again and should be able to continue.

Hoffenheim survive

Openda's free-kick is into the wall. His second effort drops comfortably wide.

Xavi's view

Xavi gestures to the referee after being brought down from behind by Vogts. The Dutchman wanted to see a booking. Dangerous position, this - just left of centre...

Henrichs and Baumgartner combine to good effect on the Hoffenheim right, but Vogt blocks the cross, with a number of Leipzig shirts queuing up in the middle.

Xavi magic

Baumann's at full stretch to touch Xavi's sumptuous curling effort onto his right-hand post. That would have been some goal!

Half-time: Leipzig 1-1 Hoffeheim

A very watchable first 45 comes to a close, with the sides level at one apiece. Leipzig took a deserved lead through Lukas Klostermann, but Hoffenheim hit back soon after when Ozan Kabak headed in a free-kick following a rush of blood from Janis Blaswich.

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals> xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals> goals).

No doubt that goal had been coming. Leipzig have attacked at will from the get-go.

Baumgartner finds space in the final third and slips a cute ball into the feet of Poulsen. The Dane powers into the box, but is under heavy pressure from Kabak and sends his attempt into the arms of Baumann.

Nervy moment for Hoffenheim as Brooks almost puts a Xavi corner past his own keeper. Haidara has an overhead attempt from the following delivery blocked. Superb entertainment so far!

Chances!

Henrichs concedes possession this time, prompting a Hoffenheim counter-attack. It's three-on-two in their favour as Bebou tries to go on the outside of Simakan, his low drive deflecting off the Frenchman and just post the post. The resultant corner finds Kramarić, who heads straight at Blaswich.

Skov-er!

Kramaric takes advantage of Baumgartner's tame clearance. His cross travels all the way to the back post, where Skov - not making a clean connection - fires over.

Knocking at the door

Leipzig work it patiently from left to right. Baumgartner tries to flick on Poulsen's ball into the box, but it's snuffed out by the boys in blue. Xavi was lurking...

Simakan to the rescue!

The Leipzig defender slides in to stop Bebou connecting with a cross into the six-yard box. That was Hoffenheim's first attack!

Hoffenheim with more defending to do as Henrichs' cut-back is blocked out to Simons, who drives straight at the goalkeeper.

Leipzig pushing

Henrichs with a teasing ball from the right for Poulsen, but Skov does just enough to clear ahead of Leipzig's great Dane. Xavi picks it up on the opposite flank, the PSG loanee shifting inside and shooting over from 18 yards.

Baumgartner again!

Baumgartner has made a really lively start against his former club. He gets away from Vogt on the right-hand side, before forcing Baumann into a diving save with a fierce shot towards the near post.

Danger signs

Baumgartner combines with Poulsen after a brilliant pass through the lines form Klostermann. The Austrian bursts into the penalty box, but the ball just wriggles away from him off a Hoffenheim defender. The ensuing corner is cleared by Brooks.

Chance!

Xavi whips in a corner to the front post, where Poulsen rises highest to head just past the upright. What a start that would have been!

Away we go!

Leipzig can go third with a win, at least for 24 hours. Three points for Hoffenheim, other the other hand, would taken them above Dortmund into fifth...

Watch: Inside the Red Bull Arena

Leipzig's home ground is currently pumping to the sound of Gala Rizzatto's 'Freed from Desire'. It's a fabulous modern stadium, one of 10 host venues at next summer's 2024 Euros.

A club legend

There is talk in the German press that this could be Emil Forsberg's final game at the Red Bull Arena as a Leipzig player. The Swede has been a fantastic servant over the years, having made the switch from Malmo in 2015, when Die Roten Bullen were still in Bundesliga 2. He's since turned out 323 times in all competitions, including 195 in the Bundesliga, producing 70 goals and 68 assists.

Watch: Old friends

Baumgartner catches up with his former Hoffenheim teammates at the Red Bull Arena. The Austrian made 138 competitive appearances for the Sinsheim club, before moving to Leipzig in the summer.

Rose's view on Hoffenheim

"They work very hard out of possession and have really good players. Andrej Kramarić is in outstanding form, Maximilian Beier is wreaking havoc up front. They're a really good team who are rightfully in sixth place. Tomorrow we need a performance and have to defend against their force and power. We're again expecting a lot we have to deal with."

Matarazzo's view on Leipzig

"In Leipzig, first and foremost, it has to be an energetic performance. I don't really have to tell you that Leipzig are a top side, with a deep squad, a good playing style and dangerous in all areas. For us, that means we have to be focused over 90 minutes, in all areas of the pitch. If we couple that with lots of energy, we'll be able to win. We always want the most, we never hide, no matter the opponent. We also never underestimate any opponent. I think that is the Bundesliga, it's a balanced league where everyone can beat everyone. So we go into it with full confidence."
