There is a lot going on here in Breisgau right at the start of the match! This is exactly how Christian Streich and his team imagined it.

Freiburg missed the 2-0! Günter does what he always does and rushes down the left side. He plays sharply in the middle, the ball comes through to Dōan, who lasts on the long post. He has plenty of space and time ten meters from the box, but then puts the ball over the crossbar.

Penalty for Freiburg! After a corner kick, Matthias Ginter stops in front of the left post and holds his head. Judging by the pictures, it becomes clear that there was a clash between him and Toral Bayramov. The referee is sent outside by the VAR and then awards a penalty – he claims to have seen a deliberate movement of his hand towards Ginter’s head. Hard but justifiable decision!

The SC again! Dōan heads the ball halfway right into the sixteen and finishes flat. He misses the net – the ball rolls past the goal on the left.

Erik Lambrechts whistles! And Freiburg is right at the front. Eggestein tries a dropkick from 20 meters, but shoots over the box.

And now to the opponent: FK Qarabag Agdam had to admit defeat to Viktoria Pilsen – FC Bayern’s group opponents – in qualifying for the Champions League and ended up one floor lower. Ahead of the game, coach Qurban Qurbanov was full of praise for SC Freiburg and his fellow coaches from Germany. In fact, both have strong parallels: just like Streich, Qurbanov has been with the club for a long time. He has been in charge of the first team since 2008 and has been on the sidelines of the professional team longer than Streich, who started his current job in December 2011.

It’s finally here again! After nine years, the people of Breisgau are back on the international stage – Christian Streich described the 2013/14 season at the press conference before the game as the most intensive and toughest of his coaching career. As the current leader of the Bundesliga, the sports club has gained a lot of self-confidence and now wants to continue the very good national performance in the Europa League. The entire club is burning for the upcoming English weeks and that is exactly what the hope is based on that SC Freiburg will now cause a sensation internationally.
