Gregoritsch scored to make it 1-0, but Freiburg still lost

The Westphalians won 3-1 (0-1) at SC Freiburg, although the Breisgauer had led 1-0 up to the 77th minute after a remarkable header by ÖFB team striker Michael Gregoritsch (35th). Then a capital mistake by goalkeeper Mark Flekken heralded the turnaround, a long-range shot by Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (18) slipped through his fingers. Then the next youngster, Youssoufa Moukoko (17), scored to make it 1:2 (84′), Marius Wolf (88′) put the final point.

On Sunday, Wolfsburg will make the next attempt to win a league away game against FC Bayern for the first time. The fact that the outsider is now being looked after by ex-Bayern coach Niko Kovac is a motivational boost for some Munich professionals. Thomas Müller was described by Kovac three years ago as an “emergency nail”: “If there is a need, he will definitely get his minutes.”
