The SC Freiburg surprises positively in the new stadium and cannot be beaten by the Champions League participant RB Leipzig.
In the end, the people of Baden are even closer to victory.
The game is overshadowed by an incident in the stands.
Freiburg - A somewhat strange mood spread after the 1-1 (0: 1) of SC Freiburg at the premiere in the new stadium against RB Leipzig. Due to an emergency in the stands, no stadium music played after the final whistle. The atmosphere was clouded. There are more important things than football, said the spokesman for the Baden Bundesliga soccer team at the start of the subsequent press conference and announced that the patient had been taken to hospital. At first, Freiburg coach Christian Streich did not notice that it had calmed down after about an hour of play after an announcement by the stadium announcer.
Apart from this incident, the 56-year-old drew a positive conclusion on Saturday: “If you imagine that there could be another 15,000 more, then of course it's great.
But of course the team is playing in a way at the moment that you get carried away, ”said Streich.
Woo-yeong Jeong had previously scored the first goal in the new home ground with a header with the equalizer (64th minute), saved the surprise team from the first defeat of the season and gave the runner-up the next small damper.
"The second half was outstanding," said Streich: "You can win after the second half, you can't play better."
Emil Forsberg had given a converted penalty (32nd) in the first half under loud whistles from the Freiburg fans for the guest leadership. RB failed to get in the mood for the first of two Champions League duels with France's star ensemble Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday with a success. In the Bundesliga table, RB is lagging behind its claims and remains five points behind the Breisgauers in the middle of the table. The support in the club for him was "very, very strong", said RB coach Jesse Marsch: "We understand that it is a difficult moment for us," he said: "We are dissatisfied with the second half. We didn't play well enough. "
Freiburg started the season as successfully as never before, finishing fourth in the table with 16 points.
"It feels good.
The 1: 1 is a fair result, ”said sports director Jochen Saier at Sky.
Even more could have jumped out of it: midfielder Nicolas Höfler almost led the SC to victory shortly before the end, but only hit the post.
Lucas Höler also had a great opportunity with a header in the final phase, but failed due to RB keeper Peter Gulacsi.
“That would have been the icing on the cake,” said Freiburg's captain Christian Günter, but spoke of a “successful debut” in the new stadium.

End of the negative series in the derby: Stuttgart defeated Hoffenheim
After 360 Bundesliga games in the Dreisam Stadium, the people of Baden had moved.
Almost 35,000 people fit into the more modern arena.
20,000 visitors, the maximum permitted capacity, filled the venue this time and celebrated their club before kick-off.
When the curve had just started “Let's go Freiburg, score a goal”, the mood changed. After an action by Philipp Lienhart against RB striker Christopher Nkunku, referee Daniel Siebert decided on a penalty. Streich raged on the sideline, but the decision was still valid after the video evidence: Forsberg loaded goalkeeper Mark Flekken - Streich received the yellow card. A little later, his coaching colleague Marsch was also warned. "I apologized to the referee because I was too wild at the edge," admitted Streich later.
But he was still dissatisfied with the penalty decision.
Also because there was no penalty in the second half when Höler was brought down by Mohamed Simakan.
“Nkunku did it extremely cleverly,” said Streich: “A touch is not a foul for me.
If you whistle the first one and I think you mustn't whistle the first one, then you have to whistle the second one too.
Or you leave out the first and then you leave out the second. ”Fortunately, there was still Vincenzo Grifo's cross, after which Jeong headed to equalize.
