BERLIN (Reuters) - RB Leipzig overcame a comeback from promoted Paderborn to hold on to a 3-2 victory on Saturday and climb to the top of the Bundesliga while 10-man Borussia Dortmund spoiled Juergen Klinsmann's debut as Hertha Berlin coach with a 2-1 away win.

Leipzig opened their account in the third minute with a Patrick Schick goal and doubled their lead through Marcel Sabitzer a minute later. Timo Werner made it 3-0 in the 26th minute as they looked to be cruising to a comfortable win.
