Freiburg responded well, and their persistence paid off in the 35th minute when they leveled the score through a header by Kevin Schade. Schade, who has been in excellent form this season, directed a pinpoint cross into the box, and the unmarked Jeongmin Lee capitalized on the opportunity, but the goal was initially credited to Schade due to a mix-up in the build-up play.

This goal proved to be the turning point, as Dortmund shifted gears and controlled the game from there on.

Freiburg pushed for an equalizer, with several chances, but Dortmund’s defense held firm. Key saves by goalkeeper Kevin Balerdt, including a stunning stop in the 77th minute, kept the score at 2-1 in favor of the home side. Adeyemi and Malen both had chances to extend the lead, but the final result was a well-deserved 2-1 win for Dortmund.

Player of the Match: Jadon Malen and Anthony Adeyemi both played pivotal roles in the victory. Malen’s two goals demonstrated his clinical finishing, while Adeyemi’s work rate and creativity were instrumental in breaking down Freiburg’s defense.
