What was happening there?
After BVB’s 4-2 win in Freiburg analyzed Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel (25) the game with ZDF reporter Claudia Neumann (59). However, the Swiss goalkeeper mixes something up…
Neumann contradicts Kobel on TV!
In the report on the game, which was broadcast on the ZDF sports studio, Kobel Neumann asks: “I think we were already in the lead, right? 3:2 at the time of the sending off? Is that correct?”
Neumann answers in a long drawn out manner: “Nope.”
Kobel irritated: “No?”
Neumann: “As far as I know it was still 2:2.”
Kobel analyzes: “Ok. In any case [war] then the expulsion [ein Schlüssel zum Sieg], clear. But I did have the feeling that we had accepted the fight to some extent. That’s always important, Freiburg makes it extremely disgusting, they send in a lot of crosses, are very clever, get free kicks and are very dangerous in standard situations.
BVB defeated SC Freiburg 4-2 with goals from Mats Hummels (11th/88th), Donyell Malen (60th) and Marco Reus (90th+3). Lucas Höler (45th+2) and Nicolas Höfler (45th+6) took the lead for the Breisgau team.

The same Höfler later provided what was probably the decisive moment of the game: the Freiburg midfielder caught BVB star Marcel Sabitzer with an open sole on the leg. According to video evidence, referee Tobias Stieler decided on a red card for Höfler.
Even if Kobel thought his team had the lead beforehand, the redeeming goals for victory actually only came after the sending off, as von Neumann noted…
