Bundesliga Freiburg vs Augsburg

As the Bundesliga match between Freiburg and Augsburg held at Europa park stadium resulted in victory of Freigburg with score of 3-1.

Holer hammered a shot in early times of game which Rafal Gikiewicz was happy to see coming straight down the barrel, but the Augsburg custodian was powerless to prevent Gregoritsch, forward player.

He scored already his second goal against his former club this season from a tight angle, from Yannik Keitel’s clever pass. Augsburg were in a striking moment as Kubler came just a split second too late into a challenge with Ermedin Demirovic just inside the area.

Berisha sent the spot-kick straight down the middle as Mark Flekken dived to his right, unable to keep the ball out. Straight from the kick-off, a long ball forward was headed down by Gregoritsch to Ritsu Doan, who touched it across for Holer to turn in his first goal of the season – and first since last May – from close range.

Berisha obtaines an excellent chance to level again just before half-time, and his anguished look spoke volumes as he saw his free header sail wide.

Freiburg come off the back of a 1-1 draw against fellow Champions League-place competitors Eintracht Frankfurt, while Augsburg head into this affair in good spirits after securing a 1-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Freiburg have marked a memorable mark in the league, currently lying sixth in the Bundesliga and are level on points with Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt, who are ahead on goal difference.

The hosts have rested on their defensive tactics to secure results as they have recorded the highest amount of clean sheets in the league this season.

However, when making their return to action against Wolfsburg last weekend, they were given a taste of defeat  in a over powering match with score 6-0 defeat.

but overseeing the cause of defeat is due to failure in defensive form led open for Freiburg and is a result that will leave Freiburg fans slightly worried, as their impressive form this campaign has largely been due to their defensive qualities.

Although, a positive reaction in their 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt will give the players and fans confidence that the Wolfsburg result was just a blip.

Meanwhile, Augsburg have enjoyed a positive restart to the Bundesliga campaign, after pushing Borussia Dortmund all the way in a 4-3 defeat and beating Borussia Monchengladbach in their last match 1-0.

Augsburg had delivered their most shots in the first half of a match all season, and they continued to create openings in the second half, with Dion Beljo heading wide before Freiburg almost landed a sucker punch on the break.

Doan’s cross came back for Kiliann Sildillia and his first-time effort was turned onto the right-hand post by Mads Pedersen. Gregoritsch might have done better with a free header from close range that he sent straight into Gikiewicz’s arms following a fine cross from Doan, and Freiburg’s advantage was suddenly starting to look slender as Augsburg committed more and more men to their quest for an equaliser.

They nearly succeeded with 10 minutes left when Flekken made an instinctive one-handed save to turn over a Demirovic effort, but Philipp Lienhart relieved the pressure on the hosts with a third, heading in substitute Vincenzo Grifo’s corner to seal the points.
