Bielefeld shortens out of nowhere
But the Bielefeld team, where newcomer Gonzalo Castro initially sat on the bench, surprisingly found their way back into the game. Masaya Okugawa pulled from a good 24 meters and provided the connecting goal with a flutter ball. Freiburg goalkeeper Benjamin Uphoff did not look very happy with the goal. Uphoff represented regular goalkeeper Flekken in his Bundesliga debut, who missed the start of the second half of the season due to a corona infection. And said self-critically after the game: “The ball was definitely not untenable.”
The Bielefeld now sensed their chance to equalize and played more confidently. In the 72nd minute it almost happened, but Okugawa put the ball past Kügler to the right after a nice dribble against Kügler.
Uphoff with an unfortunate Bundesliga debut
SC Freiburg was struggling to calm the game down and Bielefeld continued to put pressure on it. And indeed: In the 87th minute, Brian Lasme managed to equalize to 2-2. His deflected shot from close range hit the near post and again did not make Freiburg goalkeeper Uphoff look good.
Freiburg loses third place in the table to 1899 Hoffenheim. Bielefeld succeeds again after two victories, but remains in 17th place in the table.
