Ridle Baku was also delighted and hugged his opponent when he had to come on for him. For international Benjamin Henrichs, his late substitution in the 90th minute of RB Leipzig's 3-0 (0-0) win at Heidenheim put an end to a long spell out of action. He returned to action for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon at the end of 2024.
"It's emotional for everyone involved," said Baku, the scorer of the interim 1:0. "He's a great guy, important for the team, important for the dressing room. And I'm just happy that he can be back on the pitch after such a long period of suffering."
