SC Freiburg Triumphs Over VfL Wolfsburg in a Thrilling Encounter
In an exhilarating match, SC Freiburg emerged victorious against VfL Wolfsburg with a score of 3-2 on December 13, 2024. This win not only marked a significant achievement for Freiburg but also propelled them ahead in the league standings. The game was tightly contested, keeping fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle.
Kübler’s Stellar Performance Leads Freiburg to Victory
The spotlight was on right-back Lukas Kübler, who netted two crucial goals—one just before halftime and another shortly after the break. Michael Gregoritsch added a third goal for Freiburg in the 62nd minute, making it 3-0. However, VfL Wolfsburg fought back valiantly, with Jonas Wind scoring in the 75th minute and Mattias Svanberg adding another stunning bicycle kick in the 83rd minute, but it wasn’t enough to level the score.
The match began with both teams feeling each other out, but the first real chance came in the 13th minute when a misplaced pass from Matthias Ginter allowed Maximilian Arnold to set Mohamed Amoura through on goal. Unfortunately for Wolfsburg, Amoura’s shot was thwarted by Freiburg’s goalkeeper Noah Atubolu. The goalie was called into action again shortly after, managing to deflect a dangerous header from Konstantinos Koulierakis.
As the game progressed, tensions rose, particularly when Gregoritsch tackled Tiago Tomás, leading to a yellow card from referee Sascha Stegemann. Freiburg’s second goal came from a corner taken by Vincenzo Grifo, where a mix-up in Wolfsburg’s defense allowed Kübler to score with a free header.
Grifo nearly added to the tally with a curling shot that narrowly missed the post, but it was Gregoritsch who found the net next, heading in a precise cross from Ritsu Doan. Despite wearing a protective mask, Wolfsburg’s keeper Kamil Grabara couldn’t hide his frustration as he conceded yet again.
Wolfsburg finally found their footing with Wind’s goal, which proved to be a moment of hope for the visitors. However, Freiburg had several opportunities to extend their lead, with Höler coming close on multiple occasions. In a dramatic finish, Svanberg’s stunning bicycle kick brought the score to 3-2, igniting a last-minute surge from Wolfsburg, but Freiburg’s defense held strong, denying the equalizer.
Looking ahead, SC Freiburg will face off against Bayer Leverkusen in a crucial match on December 21 at 6:30 PM, while Wolfsburg will take on Borussia Dortmund the following day at 5:30 PM to conclude the year.
