IIn their 700th Bundesliga game, Freiburg wanted to break a black series: Under coach Christian Streich, the Freiburg team had not yet managed to beat BVB with thirteen defeats and three draws on Saturday. But this time. This time the South Baden team finally prevailed against Borussia, who were too fickle this season.
Thanks to the double strike by Jeong (49th) and Schmid (52nd) when Moukoko (76th) conceded a goal, the eighth of the table, who was more active after the break, won 2-1 against the once again disappointing sixth in the table. If BVB continues like this, there may even be a season in the coming season without any additional European Cup bread.
“We have a chance against any opponent if we play at our absolute limit,” Streich urged his men. They did. The Dortmund team, on the other hand, who only got ten points from the last seven league games, must next have a winning streak and need their lost top level for this. Before traveling to the Breisgau, they had decided to finally increase quality and stability again.
The first half was still a sign of voluntary self-control. Dortmund came very close to the first goal when Can completed one of his dynamic moments with a crossbar shot (5th) and Haaland failed in a one-on-one duel against goalkeeper Müller (13th). The rest was a disciplined effort under the eyes of national coach Joachim Löw.
South Koreans Woo-yeong Jeong was the first to break out of the stalemate when he pushed the ball with his left foot into the left corner of the goal shortly after the break. That was the can opener that encouraged the people of Freiburg to go for more. Jonathan Schmid tried the next prank from the right corner of the box, and because goalkeeper Hitz was not up to his chances, the ball bounced off his hand into the goal.
The 2-0 lead of the SCF was like a knockdown on the sleepy Borussia started into the second half. In the last twenty minutes they tried to turn things around – and were once successful about a quarter of an hour before the final whistle after Haaland’s submission to Youssoufa Moukoko. The 16-year-old junior took an example from the Freiburg goals and slammed the ball into the net to make it 1: 2. More was not possible. “We are very disappointed and also angry about what happened here,” said BVB coach Terzic: “You have to look in the mirror and turn it off as quickly as possible.”
