The match between SC Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund ended in a 1-1 draw. Borussia Dortmund took the lead in the 31st minute when Ramy Bensebaini scored, assisted by Yan Couto, giving them an edge after a competitive opening half where both sides earned early yellow cards. The visitors’ recent strong form, including wins over TSG Hoffenheim and Bayer 04 Leverkusen, seemed to fuel their early control, but a red card to Jobe Bellingham in the 53rd minute shifted the momentum.
SC Freiburg equalised in the 75th minute through Lucas Höler, assisted by Christian Günter, capitalising on their numerical advantage and possession dominance. Substitutions followed quickly, with Freiburg bringing on Igor Matanovic and Vincenzo Grifo in the 76th minute, while Dortmund made changes to hold on, including Pascal Groß entering in the 56th minute. Freiburg’s mixed recent results, with a win over FSV Mainz 05 but losses to Heidenheim and FC Bayern München, highlighted their resilience in securing a point against a higher-placed side.
SC Freiburg held 57% possession compared to Borussia Dortmund’s 43%, which allowed them to dictate much of the play, especially after Dortmund went down to 10 men, leading to six corners for Freiburg and none for the visitors. Successful dribbles were close, with Freiburg at 50 and Dortmund at 42, suggesting both teams found ways to break lines despite the tight contest, while Freiburg recorded one assist against Dortmund’s zero, underlining their slightly more effective creativity.
The card count showed Freiburg with three yellows and Dortmund with two yellows plus one red, pointing to a feisty encounter that disrupted Dortmund’s rhythm. Freiburg used two substitutions, while Dortmund made five to manage fatigue and the sending-off, with no penalties or injury-time goals noted, keeping the focus on open-play efforts.
Borussia Dortmund opened the scoring in the 31st minute as Ramy Bensebaini found the net with an assist from Yan Couto, establishing an early lead in a half marked by yellow cards to Johan Manzambi and Yan Couto around the 11th minute. The game’s major turning point came in the 53rd minute when Jobe Bellingham received a red card, leaving Dortmund short-handed and prompting a substitution with Pascal Groß replacing Fábio Silva shortly after.
SC Freiburg made the most of their advantage, equalising in the 75th minute through Lucas Höler, assisted by Christian Günter, before making double changes in the 76th minute with Igor Matanovic replacing Christian Günter and Vincenzo Grifo coming on for Anthony Jung. Late drama included a VAR check involving Igor Matanovic in the 87th minute and yellow cards to Maximilian Eggestein, Julian Ryerson, and Lukas Kübler, while Dortmund’s further substitutions like Maximilian Beier for Serhou Guirassy and Daniel Svensson for Carney Chukwuemeka in the 78th minute helped them secure the draw.
SC Freiburg lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Lucas Höler leading the line effectively and Christian Günter providing key support from the left, as seen in his assist for the equaliser before being replaced by Igor Matanovic. Maximilian Eggestein anchored the midfield, though he picked up a yellow card, while partnerships like those involving Lukas Kübler in defence helped maintain structure against Dortmund’s attacks.
Borussia Dortmund set up in a 3-4-2-1 shape, with Ramy Bensebaini making an impact in defence by scoring the opener, assisted by Yan Couto who was later substituted for Karim Adeyemi in stoppage time. The midfield saw challenges after Jobe Bellingham’s red card, leading to Pascal Groß replacing Fábio Silva, while Emre Can’s late exit for Niklas Süle aimed to shore up the backline.
Lucas Höler earned Bwin’s Man of the Match award for his crucial equaliser in the 75th minute, stepping up when Freiburg needed it most against a resilient Dortmund side. He contributed one goal, created no big chances but delivered two key passes, showcasing his importance in the attack without any assists recorded.
