Leipzig jumped atop the standings for the moment after overpowering resilient newcomer Stuttgart on a sole goal from Dani Olmo, while Hertha Berlin's 3-0 victory extended Schalke's winless run to 30 games in the 14th round in Bundesliga.

On Saturday, Leipzig assumed control from the start and tested Stuttgart goalkeeper Gregor Kobel through Angelino, who unleashed a volley only three minutes into the game, reports Xinhua news agency. Stuttgart lurked for chances on counter-attacks but for all that it was only Leipzig who controlled possession in the opening stages.
