The SC has been on top since the opening goal and is creating one opportunity after the other. Dortmund hardly takes place offensively.
42
21:15
Freiburg again! Grifo sends Günter into the box on the left, who casually lets Reus get out and slide into the goal and then puts it back on Grifo. The Italian shoots powerfully from ten meters on the left and might have hit the far corner, but Gregoritsch is his own man in the way.
40
21:13
But the sports club is coming again! Grifo’s corners always cause chaos in the BVB defense. Ultimately, however, the Breisgauer didn’t get the ball on goal this time.
37
21:11
Almost Modeste’s answer! Dahoud picks up speed in the headquarters and sends the French to the penalty area. Modeste takes the ball well, hits a small hook and flicks just past the right from 17 meters.

21:06
Tooor for SC Freiburg, 1-0 through Michael Gregoritsch
A little later, the SC takes the lead! And through a combination of the newcomers. A cross from the left half-field lands on the second post on the head of Ginter, who stayed ahead after the corner. The ex-Dortmunder prevailed in the air against three Borussia players, crossed to the right from a five-man height and found Gregoritsch, who had the ball in front of Hummels and headed in well over Kobel into the right corner.
34
21:05
Grifo pulls the free kick due from 24 meters on the left-hand side strongly over the wall and onto the short corner. Kobel reacts well and steers the leather over the bar with his fingertips.
33
21:05
Yellow card for Thomas Meunier (Borussia Dortmund)
Sallai is sent on the journey on the left. But since no one ran, the Hungarian chose to cross Meunier’s path and let himself be knocked down. Referee Welz pulls out yellow.
32
21:04
BVB goes really high and aggressively into the pressing and, in the person of Raphaël Guerreiro, conquers the ball right away. After a one-two with Bellingham, the Portuguese is through to the baseline and finds Modeste with his cross. He also gets his turn, but he’s a few centimeters short of placing a powerful header.
29
21:02
On the other side, it’s Donyell Malen in particular, who sets the pace down the left flank at every opportunity. De Dutchman is looking for Modeste again, but he can’t get hold of Malen’s ball.
27
21:01
Christian Günter is constantly building steam on the left and always comes back to cross. However, the accuracy is still lacking. This time the previously very attentive Hummels clarifies.
24
20:56
In return, Sallai closes from 20 meters and misses the right corner by two meters.
23
20:55
First chance to score for Anthony Modeste in BVB jersey! Malen picks up the pace in midfield and alludes to the French up front. After a one-two with Reus, Modeste appears on the left in front of Flekken, but fails with his unplaced shot from ten meters at the SC keeper.
21
20:52
So far, the backward movement has worked for BVB. After winning the ball in midfield, SC briefly has the upper hand, but seconds later six Borussia are behind the ball again.
18
20:50
Grifo plays a wonderful through ball on the left into Günter’s run, who marches into the box and gives sharply inside. Gregoritsch lurks at the second post, but Kobel stretches out his leg and doesn’t let the ball through.
16
20:47
A quarter of an hour has passed in Freiburg. Both teams got off to a good start and are very present. Playfully there is still room for improvement on both sides.
13.
20:44
The first corner of the guests lands on the back pentagon on the head of Jude Bellingham, who is under pressure and cannot get the ball on goal.
11.
20:42
A little later Maximilian Eggestein can pull from a distance, but ends up in the arms of Gregor Kobel with his attempt.
10
20:42
Freiburg is good in duels and is always on Dortmund’s feet immediately. The hosts win a few balls and then speed up, but Günter’s cross from the left is just about able to slide off Hummels.
7.
20:38
For the first time, BVB is looking for Modeste after losing the ball in Freiburg. However, the newcomer cannot quite get to the ball with the stretched leg on the 911.
5.
20:36
Donyell Malen then fired the first shot on goal of the game. SC keeper Mark Flekken easily intercepts the Dutchman’s very central long-range shot.
4.
20:36
On the other hand, the guests also show up for the first time in the sixteen, but Reus does not let the ball through to a teammate, but to the opponent.
2.
20:34
Freiburg pushes on the left side for the first time. Vincenzo Grifo then hits the ball from the half-field high into the box, but his attempt rushes through into the goal.
1.
20:31
Here we go! The sports club plays in red, Dortmund in black and yellow.
20:16
Referee of the game is Tobias Welz. Jonas Weickenmeier and Dr. Jan Neitzel-Petersen and Günter Perl is responsible for the video evidence.
20:05
The statistics clearly speak for Borussia in this duel. The black and yellow have won 29 of 47 games, the sports club just six. However, Freiburg won the last two home games against BVB 2-1.
19:55
A quick look at the line-ups: SC coach Christian Streich trusts the same team as in Augsburg and doesn’t swap at all. In addition to Modeste, Hazard will also start at BVB today, replacing the injured Adeyemi. Moukoko rotates onto the bench.
19:51
Edin Terzić expects his side to play a game similar to last weekend’s. “The Freiburgers are similarly aggressive as Leverkusen. We ran after Leverkusen a lot in the second half, the balls were gone quickly. At some point it takes strength, so we have to protect ourselves a little better and stay on the ball better,” said the BVB Trainer. The 39-year-old has high hopes for new signing Anthony Modeste. “He’s fitter than he’s ever been,” said Terzić before the Frenchman’s BVB debut.
19:43
“We have shown decent performances against Dortmund in recent years, but we also got five in the second half of last season,” recalled SC coach Christian Streich ahead of the game. At 1: 5 in January, his team was “perhaps too offensive”, said the 57-year-old, who had just been awarded Coach of the Year. Defender Matthias Ginter believes in the duel with his former club in the SC. “If we do everything at our performance limit to get there, we will also get opportunities. We will do everything to make it successful.”
19:31
Both teams had a successful start to the new season last weekend. Thanks to a furious second half, the sports club won 4-0 at FC Augsburg, while BVB defeated Bayer 04 Leverkusen 1-0. At least for one night, both beckon to lead the table, although BVB would have to win the game to do so. The focus today is primarily on two players from the guests. Anthony Modeste makes his debut for Borussia five days after moving from Cologne, Nico Schlotterbeck meets his former club for the first time in the black and yellow jersey.
19:30
Hello and welcome to the second Bundesliga matchday of the 2022/23 season! SC Freiburg will have Borussia Dortmund as guests at Europa-Park Stadium this Friday evening at 8:30 p.m.
