The rivalry between two of the revelations of the Bundesliga clearly fell on the side of Freiburg, who defeated Union Berlin (4-1) in their field, the Europa Park Stadion, burdened by their bad start and the expulsion of the Portuguese that of Diogo Leite after twenty minutes of play. Fribrgo is now 2nd, 4 points behind leaders Bayern, and Union Berlin, deflating, has dropped to 5th place, outside the Champions League zone. Grifo achieved a ‘hat trick’.
Everything went wrong for Union Berlin. Two weeks ago the leader of the competition and now falls to 5th place due to the three game winless streak he has accumulated. The opposite of Freiburg, recovering from the defeat conceded against Leipzig the previous day and reunited with the victory led by the Italian Vincenzo Grifo.
The transalpine marked the differences. Four minutes later he opened the scoring by converting a penalty caused by a handball from Sheraldo Becker and two minutes later he beat Lennart Grill again.
Amid a frantic start to the game, Union Berlin had a chance to get back into the game when ten minutes later they had a penalty which Robin Knoche missed.
From that moment on, it was all setbacks for the visitors. Diogo Leite was sent off after taking a penalty which was not wasted, again, by Grifo. The fourth local goal was in extra time in the first half, scored by Michael Gregoritsch after receiving the ball from Ritsu Doan.
Union Berlin could only manage their defeat late in an offense committed against Paul Seguin inside the area. Another shot from the eleven meters was finished by Sven Michel to score the visitors’ only goal.
