The scene before the disallowed goal which made Freiburg’s head coach Christian Streich so angrythe prevented goal scorer Höler looked more relaxed than the coach: “I haven’t seen the scene yet. I didn’t notice in the game that he somehow got hold of my arm. So I have to watch the scene again .”
SC Freiburg better in the second half
The team of coach Christian Streich fought back into the game in the second half and tried everything to catch up again. But more than the goal by Lucas Höler (59th) was not possible. András Schäfer’s goal to make it 4-1 shortly before the end didn’t have a decisive impact on Freiburg’s mood. For Nico Schlotterbeck it was defeat in his last home game for SC Freiburg particularly bitter: “I had two or three moments here in this stadium that I will not forget,” said the 22-year-old. “That’s why it was emotional today, and that’s why I would have liked to end it with a win. But that’s the way it is in football.”
Even the good news that afternoon faded into the background. After all, after the defeat of 1. FC Köln in the parallel game against VfL Wolfsburg, the sports club is as good as certain of the Europa League. “Ok?” Höler asked immediately after the final whistle. “I have to look at the table first.”
SC Freiburg almost certainly has the Europa League
Then Höler will realize that his team has three points and eleven goals ahead of FC. In the last game at Bayer Leverkusen (Saturday, 3:30 p.m., live in the audio stream on Sportschau.de) a lot has already gone wrong so that Cologne can still catch up in the parallel game at VfB Stuttgart. Freiburg can win a lot in Leverkusen and hardly lose anything. So Freiburg can play freely. “Leipzig has to win first,” said Höler. “Then we’ll go to Leverkusen highly motivated and try to win there.”
