SC Freiburg used the opportunity to put pressure on Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig in a long-distance duel for the Champions League places.

In the evening game of the Bundesliga, coach Christian Streich's team scored a 4-3 (1-1) win at TSG Hoffenheim in a turbulent game.

Roland Sallai's lead (23 minutes) was equalized by Andrej Kramarić (32 minutes), and Angelo Stiller briefly turned the game around after the break (49 minutes) with a powerful low shot.

Because Christian Günter restored the tie in direct return (50th), the Hoffenheim momentum was nipped in the bud.

Lucas Höler (70') and substitute Jeong Woo-yeong (73') decided the game in favor of the guests.

Sebastian Rudy made it close again in the closing stages (85'), but Hoffenheim couldn't do more.

Freiburg are now fourth in the table behind Bayer Leverkusen with the same number of points, Leipzig follows one point behind.

Both opponents have the opportunity on Monday evening to extend their lead or to pass Freiburg again.

At the same time, the Freiburgers showed exactly the virtues that had brought them into the race for the first four places in the first place: good team organization and merciless efficiency.

Sallai refined the first really dangerous scene, who after a pass from Lucas Höler appeared completely free in Hoffenheim's penalty area and shot in to take the lead (23').

But TSG were at least equal in terms of play, and the equalizer deserved: after Diadie Samassekou had switched the game, national defender David Raum had space on the left, his cross found Kramarić, who only had to put his foot in the cross just before the goal (32nd minute). ).

It was the twelfth assist for Raum in his Bundesliga debut season.

Two changes of leadership until the Freiburg victory

After the break, the focus was again on Kramarić, who kept the Freiburg defense so busy that Stiller found space on the left half for a goal.

A precise pass and a hard, well-placed finish later turned the game around for TSG (49').

Because Günter showed a similarly strong shooting technique from 20 meters on the other side, Hoffenheim only had the lead for a few seconds (50th).

Then Freiburg showed their standard strength: Höler headed a Günter free-kick into the goal (70th) to give the SC the lead again.

Joker Yeong increased (73'), Rudy only managed to connect from a short distance (85').

Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken held on to the win in added time.
