Freiburg point at Qarabag knockers
Freiburg’s B-Elf stumbles on the last group meters, but still takes a point from Azerbaijan!
SC Freiburg drew 1-1 at Qarabag Agdam, conceded a late equalizer, but has so far remained unbeaten in Europe – even with the second substitution.
Regardless of the outcome of the game, Freiburg was already sure of winning the group and is in the round of 16. Therefore, coach Christian Streich (57) rotates through, brings ten (!) New ones. Only Christian Günter (29) was on the pitch in the 2-0 win over Schalke at the weekend.
Qarabag goes for it: Mustafazada jumps waist-deep into Schade with full power. Clear penalty! Nils Petersen safely converts flat right (25th).
It continues raw: Schade is later felled a second time and even more brutally by Medina. After a video check, he sees red (62nd), a shame has to go down. Ouch! Ansgar Brinkmann on RTL +: “Deliberate bodily harm.”
After the break, the VAR checked Qarabag for offside twice: once before a possible penalty, once before a goal.
But Freiburg got lucky – until Owusu equalized in the first minute of seven minutes of added time. 1:1 division of points.
