Ego boost before the European second leg: Freiburg wins in Bochum. Now the SCF has the chance to do something big in London.

The Breisgauers won the first leg of the round of 16 against the English first division team 1-0 at home. The Revierclub is 15th in the table, but still has a reassuring lead of seven points over the relegation place. It was the first triple point win in the league after six games without a win.
