Exciting final phase
Suddenly the game was more open. Wolfsburg had significantly more access to the game and pushed forward. Freiburg counterattacked. Demirovic failed in such a counterattack from an acute angle by Casteels representative Pavao Pervan (62nd) in the Wolfsburg goal. In the final phase it looked as if the North Germans could reward themselves. When Freiburg couldn’t clear the ball in the penalty area, Arnold heaved it into the crease from ten yards up on the left to make it 2-2.
But the game still had a final chord in store. Substitute Nils Petersen let a cross bounce off his chest at the edge of the penalty area and Schlotterbeck sent him powerfully into the net to give Freiburg a 3-2 win.
Freiburg play in Fürth on Saturday (March 19th, 2022), Wolfsburg have a day longer break and then face Leverkusen at home.
