Forsberg fires RB Leipzig into German Cup final

After an Andre Silva penalty had cancelled out Sheraldo Becker's first-half header for Union, Forsberg headed in a cross in the second minute of stoppage time to seal the semi-final win.

Leipzig are through to the German Cup final on May 21st at Berlin's Olympic Stadium where they face Freiburg, who beat Hamburg 3-1 in Tuesday's other semi-final.

In a typically tense cup atmosphere, visitors Union took the lead with 25 minutes gone when Becker tucked a cross inside the far post to the delight of the travelling fans.

This was the first goal Leipzig have conceded in their run to the cup final.

Final success extended Leipzig's unbeaten run to 15 games in all competitions.
