With a win against VfL Wolfsburg, SC Freiburg could have taken a huge step towards European business on Saturday. TSG Hoffenheim had already lost in Bochum on Friday evening, FC Augsburg suffered a defeat at the same time as Freiburg’s home game against Werder Bremen – the lead over eighth place would have been four points if they were successful.
Streich: “We did everything right until the 63rd minute”
After that it looked like a dominant performance in the first half and a well-deserved 1-0 lead, but in the end there was a 1-2 defeat because the sports club failed to close the bag early – and the Wolfsburg team in one The game turned around in a brilliant final phase after Roland Sallai missed a penalty.
“We did everything right up until the 63rd minute,” explained coach Christian Streich after the game. What happened then? Kiliann Sildillia hit opponent Kevin Paredes with a stretched leg and an open sole in the knee area. Referee Frank Willenborg had no choice but to show the 21-year-old defender a red card for “rough play”.
Bottleneck in defense
A dismissal with far-reaching consequences: The Frenchman has now been banned for three games by the DFB sports court. It is also clear that Sildillia will no longer be used in the current season. The games in the race for Europe against 1. FC Köln, 1. FC Heidenheim and Union Berlin will take place without Sildillia.
The Freiburg team is currently missing three defenders: Matthias Ginter (Achílles tendon operation), Philipp Lienhart (knee problems) and Kenneth Schmidt (abdominal muscle operation). At least Lukas Kübler returns after a yellow card suspension for Saturday’s game in Cologne.
