Thanks to a crazy first half: SC Freiburg celebrates the highest Bundesliga victory in club history

At Gladbach, the captain Lars Stindl and Patrick Herrmann had to sit on the bench compared to last weekend. Ermedin Demirovic got a chance in attack with the guests from Freiburg.

After just 120 seconds, the doorbell rang in the Borussia box. Maximilian Eggestein promoted Kevin Schade’s flat cross from seven meters into the goal (2nd). Borussia did not have time to recuperate, as Freiburg immediately topped it off. Vincenzo Grifo’s cross found Schade, who headed the ball into the goal (5th). On the opposite side, Alassane Plea missed the goal with a low long-range shot (8th). A few minutes later, Philipp Lienhart increased with his margin after Grifo’s free kick (12th). The Gladbachers defended desolately, especially in set pieces, and conceded the next goal. Grifo’s corner put Nicolas Höfler’s head in the goal (19th).

The foals didn’t know what was happening to them. At SC Freiburg, every degree ended up in the goal of Yann Sommer. After a short chaos, Lucas Höler pushed Griff’s dangerous free kick over the line (25th). Gladbach trainer Adi Hütter reacted and brought Breel Embolo and Patrick Herrmann for Plea and Stefan Lainer (30th). Gladbach was hardly dangerous until the substitute Embolo kept track of Dennis Zakaria. However, the conclusion of the Swiss was too central (36th).

Shortly afterwards, the ball landed back in the summer’s box. Nico Schlotterbeck used the flank from the strong Grifo with his head (37th). The foals experienced a single nightmare in the first half.

The second half of the game was slow. While the Freiburgers sat back and waited, Gladbach tried to make the game. However, they did not create any great opportunities. The first goal approach was through Patrick Herrmann, but Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken picked up the ball safely (59th). On the other hand, Schlotterbeck missed the finish after Christian Günter’s corner (60th). The attempts at Gladbach brought little income. Ramy Bensebainis and Embolos flanks found no takers (69th).

Shortly afterwards, foal trainer Adi Hütter tried to create some momentum by bringing in captain Lars Stindl (71st). This momentum failed to materialize, however, and Borussia did not develop any clear scoring chances in the second half. Bensebaini’s flick from 20 meters flew over the gate. The Freiburgers were satisfied and played down the game in peace. In the Bundesliga, Freiburg scored six goals for the first time and won at Borussia Mönchengladbach for the second time.
