BERLIN， Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- Leipzig secured their third win of the season after edging Augsburg 2-1 thanks to goals from Emil Forsberg and Yussuf Poulsen at the opener of the sixth round in Bundesliga on Friday.
The Bundesliga newcomers did not only reap their third victory but they also remained unbeaten at their sixth game in row to set a new record for a newly promoted team.
Leipzig ensured a bright start into the game as Emil Forsberg capitalized on a rebound to break the deadlock from inside the box with just eleven minutes into the game.
However， it was a short-lived joy for the hosts as Augsburg bounced back only three minutes later when Dong-Won Ji curled the ball from the edge of the box into the top left corner to restore parity.
Despite Augsburg's equalizer， Leipzig controlled the reins and continued to produce goal-scoring opportunities but neither Timo Werner nor Forsberg were able to grab the lead before the break.
After the restart， Leipzig continued to control the proceedings on the pitch but Augsburg goalkeeper Marwin Hitz was on guard to deny Marcel Sabitzer twice. His teammate Yussuf Poulsen cut a better figure in front of Augsburg's goal area as the Denmark international hammered home the 2-1 lead in the 52nd minute.
Leipzig should have made the game safe ahead of time but Timo Werner pulled the ball over the target following a solo run in the 61st minute. Augsburg lacked in penetration in the second half and were unable to avoid the third loss of the season.
With the result， Leipzig moved on the third place of the Bundesliga standings whereas Augsburg stay on the 11th place for the moment.
The following fixtures are scheduled for Saturday: front-runners and title holders Bayern Munich host Cologne， Hertha Berlin see struggling Hamburg， Ingolstadt face Hoffenheim， Darmstadt encounter Werder Bremen， newly promoted Freiburg clash with Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen take on runner-up Borussia Dortmund.

HAVANA Authentic Cameron Jordan Jersey , Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Cubans, who are World-renowned for their emergency preparedness, jumped into action on Thursday ahead of their expected brush with fearsome Hurricane Irma.
While Cuba is not likely to take a direct hit from the most powerful category-five hurricane ever to emerge from the Atlantic Ocean, Irma was forecast to lash the island's northern coast early Friday as it heads towards the southern area of the United States.
Under the headline "Cuba in action! Authentic Michael Thomas Jersey ," state daily Granma posted images of the measures officials and residents were taking to ensure the storm wreaks as little havoc as possible.
Men placed corrugated metal sheets over glass-fronted shops, dump trucks moved mountains of sand to soak up excess water, and teams took down road signs and other fixtures that could turn into potentially deadly projectiles if dislodged by strong winds.
Others stocked up on necessities like bottled water and batteries.
"I'm buying whatever I can, because we're preparing for the cyclone's arrival. We're preparing every way we can Authentic Alvin Kamara Jersey ," Marlene Perez, a retired teacher, told Xinhua as she left a shopping center in downtown Havana with several bags of food items for her family and neighbors.
Cuba's capital is situated on the country's northwestern coast.
There's an air of anxiety as residents prepare for the worst, but there is also an awareness that the government is there to oversee the disaster management through Cuba's well-oiled Civil Defense (DC) system.
"I think this is one of the countries where the Civil Defense responds immediately to everything Authentic Drew Brees Jersey ," said Perez.
Cuba's state-run emergency services have proven effective in handling both the preparations and aftermath of natural disasters, as the nation's historically low death tolls and ability to bounce back from devastation can attest.
"If it wasn't for that, imagine all the things that could have happened here," said Perez Authentic Rick Leonard Jersey , referring to the numerous hurricanes Cuba has survived.
Karen Calvino, who was shopping for supplies for her two children, including milk and cookies, said the government plans far in advance for the annual hurricane season Authentic Tre'Quan Smith Jersey , which runs from June to November.
"Once they have identified a hurricane, immediately everyone gets to work. In fact, the hurricane has not arrived yet and we are already in the warning stage, which shows how well organized everything is Authentic Marcus Davenport Jersey ," said Calvino.
Some 700,000 people have been evacuated from Cuba's northeastern coast as Hurricane Irma barrels westward across the Caribbean, authorities said Thursday.
The eye of the hurricane was expected to pass between the island of Hispaniola, home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic P.J. Williams Jersey , and the Turks and Caicos Islands late Thursday.
"The core of the hurricane will then move between the north coast of Cuba and the Bahamas," said a statement from Cuba's weather service.
