Wolfsburg fell from the cloud to Freiburg with a win

Wolfsburg beat Freiburg on Saturday with a resounding 6-0 and brought him down from the cloud of euphoria he had experienced this season.

Freiburg started the game in second place in the Bundesliga – they have now been displaced by Eintracht Frankfurt for the better goal difference after their 3-0 defeat at Schalke – and their performance in all competitions has been more than expected

He had the chance to grab two points at Bayern, who drew 1-1 in his visit to Leipzig on Friday, but he found himself with a huge defeat against one of the best teams in Germany to climb the position since Niko Kovac took over. as manager heading into this season.

“It’s surreal, it’s not normal to beat the second 6-0. We have to appreciate the result without letting it blow us out of proportion,” Kovac said at the end of the game.

Wimmer opened the scoring in the 2nd minute

Wolfsburg took the lead in the 2nd minute through Patrick Wimmer, in a game that started with Jonas Wind recovering the ball in the center circle.

Wind played in Yannick Gerhardt and he fed the ball to Wimmer, who slipped between two central defenders and finished with a shot from 13 meters out.

An early goal marked the match. Freiburg was slow to have at least one attempt to recover and suffered from the rapid advance of Wolfsburg.

The goalkeeper’s mistake at 2-0

Fifteen minutes into the game, Freiburg seemed to calm down and even had a good chance, a point-blank shot from Höfler that Koen Casteels cleared with his fists, but then Wolfsburg struck again.

A mistake by Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken at the start left the ball to Maximilian Arnold, who put a diagonal pass into the box from the left. Wimmer received it and launched a cross for Wind, from close range, to score with a header.

At minute 37′ the third came, again marked by Wind with a knee shot to Van der Ven’s center from the left.

Three more in the second part

Before the break, Freiburg were almost buried and there were no signs that it would find an answer despite the fact that it signed some dangerous acts. In addition to Höfler’s chance, there were slightly wide shots from Jeong and Kyereh that could have brought him back into the game.

In the second half things got worse for Freiburg. The fourth goal came in the 56th minute with a left-footed shot from Gerhardt inside the area from Felix Nmecha’s pass from the crescent. The fifth, in the 80′, when Ridle Baku headed in Kevin Paredes’ cross from the left from the edge of the small area.

In extra time there was a clear penalty against Van der Ven which Lukas Waldschmidt took advantage of to score the sixth.

With the win, Wolfsburg temporarily reached sixth place, although it could be displaced this Sunday by Borussia Dortmund.
