Tooor for SC Freiburg, 1-0 by Michael Gregoritsch
No way – the SCF is leading! Günter passes flat from the left into the half space to Sallai. His shot cross from the left corridor of the penalty area lands at the five-pointer right in front of Gregoritsch’s feet. The former Schalke player easily slides in from close range.
79′
22:37
At the moment the English seem more willing. Freiburg seems to have used up some of its powder.
76′
22:32
The last quarter hour is running. Now it’s Ward-Prowse who can’t get past Atubolu with a shot from 14 meters to the left. In the second round, the Breisgau team can be happy that they weren’t behind.
73′
22:29
Gregoritsch shows up straight away. The Austrian nods a cross from the left from a difficult position straight into Fabiański’s arms.
71′

For the final phase, Streich makes a double switch. Gregoritsch and Weißhaupt take over for Höler and Grifo.

…the standard doesn’t bring anything.
65′
22:21
Atubolu has to go! Bowen pulls briefly inside the box on the right and tries it with his left from 13 meters. Atubolu defuses the curler strongly with his fingertips – corner…
62′
22:19
Good move by the Hammers. With his left foot, Kudus crosses from the right corner of the box to the second post. There Paquetá pushes the marble over Atubolu’s housing with his head.
59′
22:16
A bit cocky. Grifo thunders the play equipment from a central position of 28 meters over it for kilometers.
58′
10:15 p.m
Yellow card for Lucas Paquetá (West Ham United)
Paquetá gets on Dōan’s foot. He is warned.
56′
22:12
Günter moves forward from the left. But his flat left-foot shot whizzes well past the box to the right.
53′
22:09
…and that too will be dicey! The corner flies high and wide to the second post, where Atubolu misjudges it. Mavropanos wins the aerial duel against Sildillia, but heads the shot wide from an acute angle.
52′
22:09
Packa! The man with the jersey number is completely free at the five-point after Ward-Prowse’s cross from the right. He doesn’t hit the ball correctly. There was more in it, but he still takes out a corner….
50′
22:06
Yellow card for Roland Sallai (SC Freiburg)
Sallai goes down in the penalty area against Coufal from a Grifo free kick. Because he doesn’t get a penalty, he complains to the referee – and gets a yellow card.
48′
10:05 p.m
Not without. After a cross from the right, Sallai tries a side kick. Souček deflects, but Fabiański gets hold of the slowed ball.
47′
10:04 p.m
The first chance in the second half belongs to Moyes’ team: Kudus moves inwards at the right corner of the penalty area. Atubolu parries his left-foot shot effortlessly.
46′

Things will continue without any personnel changes.

Kick-off of the 2nd half
45′
9:48 p.m
Half-time conclusion:
Halftime at Dreisam, the score between Freiburg and West Ham is still goalless. We have been experiencing the same picture since minute one: the Breisgauers are the slightly better team, generate a lot of ball possession and keep trying to cross. The Hammers, on the other hand, are deep in the opponent’s half but consistently defend everything. Things got dangerous once on both sides in the 31st minute. First Höler was denied by Fabiański, but in return Bowen failed to put the ball on goal. Overall, we see an intense, but low-climax encounter with a lot of potential for improvement. See you soon!
42′
9:42 p.m
Ward-Prowse finds Bowen on the right in the penalty area. His cross sails into the opposite side.
40′
9:40 p.m
Yellow card for Kiliann Sildillia (SC Freiburg)
In midfield, Sildillia comes late against Álvarez. But he sees yellow.
37′
9:38 p.m
Apart from the opportunity for Bowen six minutes ago, it’s shockingly little that the Hammers have to offer here. Nothing works offensively at all.
34′
9:35 p.m
Dōan falls to the ground just in front of the opponent’s sixteen-yard box. Correctly, the referee did not award a free kick – it was simply nothing.
31′
9:33 p.m
And then it becomes dangerous on both sides! First Höler finishes with his left foot from twelve meters after Sallai’s template. He doesn’t hit the ball correctly, so Fabiański grabs it without any problems. In return, Kudus finds Bowen. The Englishman shoots quite freely at the left post. From the inside span, the marble only rolls past to the left.
30′
9:31 p.m
Even after half an hour the same picture. The strike team doesn’t know what to do with all the possession of the ball. The guests, on the other hand, don’t seem to be able to do much with the encounter itself.
27′
9:28 p.m
Sallai is sent to the front via the half-right attack lane. But he only manages a mixture of shots and flat crosses. At the end there is a goal kick.
25′
9:26 p.m
The fact remains: Hardly any ending entertains the audience. A lot happens in midfield.
22′
9:23 p.m
Not much has happened so far. Freiburg is the more alert team, but is not successful with its wing play. Meanwhile, Londoners are acting extremely passively.
19′
9:20 p.m
In the right half of the field, Eggestein has a little too much space and no passing station. His long-range shot from 23 meters goes well over.
16′
9:16 p.m
West Ham is also taking offensive action for the first time. Bowen only finds Atubolu with his shot cross from the left.
14′
9:15 p.m
Gulde is lucky. The defender tactically holds Bowen in midfield. He doesn’t yet see the yellow box for his crime.
11′
9:12 p.m
The opening minutes belong to the Germans. Although they are not yet able to reach a conclusion, there are still visual advantages due to the amount of possession of the ball.
8th’
9:09 p.m
The SCF tries again and again with high crosses from the half field. So far, Zouma and Co. have this under control.
5′
9:05 p.m
The English capitalists also come to the first corner on the right wing. However, after Ward-Prowse’s cross, the referee ruled an offensive foul.
3′
9:04 p.m
The home team takes the first corner kick of the game. However, this doesn’t bring anything.
20:52
In any case, the English didn’t have to go into the play-offs – also because they had the upper hand in Group A against Freiburg, among others. In the end they were three points ahead of the SCF and won both meetings (2:1 away, 2:0 at home). So the Londoners know what it takes to annoy the pranksters. It remains to be seen whether today’s match will have a similar outcome.
20:42
The Hammers have gained new self-confidence in the last two games in the Premier League. After they won the last time before Christmas (2-0 at Arsenal on matchday 19), the following eight competitive games either ended with a draw or a defeat. In the last two encounters the knot broke: both at home against Brentford FC (4:2) and recently at Everton FC (3:1) there was celebration. Will the positive trend continue today?
20:22
However, we did manage to win in the Europa League recently – and it was extremely important. In the play-offs against RC Lens, after a draw in the first leg (0-0), they achieved a hard-fought win in extra time (3-2). As a result, the Breisgauer team qualified for the round of 16, where the next challenge awaits today.
8:09 p.m
After a few complicated weeks, especially in the Bundesliga, the southern Germans were recently able to celebrate another success. Despite being behind, they still got a point at home against the favored FC Bayern Munich (2:2). In the championship, that’s currently enough for ninth place – which is partly due to the previous weak results. The draw against Bayern meant they remained winless for the sixth time in a row. The last three-pointer in the league dates back to January 20th, when they defeated TSG 1899 Hoffenheim (3-2) at the start of the second half of the season.
19:57
Hello and welcome to the round of 16 of the Europa League! In the German-English duel SC Freiburg hosts West Ham United today. Kick-off in Breisgau is at 9 p.m.
