Second-half highlights:
46’: Romano Schmid takes a high Freiburg boot in the side and goes down in pain. After a bit of treatment, though, he is able to continue.
48’: Ilia Gruev brings the ball down the left channel. Jens Stage is lurking, but the Dane’s header is poor and off target.
53’: Niclas Füllkrug wins the ball from Kiliann Sildillia and goes for a curler from range. Ginter deflects the effort away for a corner.
54’: The subsequent corner from Marvin Ducksch is flicked on by Amos Pieper. Füllkrug doesn’t connect properly but the ball drops to Tony Jung, eight yards out – his effort flies well over the bar.
56’: Freiburg take the lead through Lukas Kübler. Grifo comes in from the left and beats Mitch Weiser in the area. His cross comes out to the goalscorer on the right, who smashes the ball into the far corner.
62’: Grifo has a hit from long range, which Pavlenka deals with well. Freiburg are not letting up after taking the lead – Werder are back on defensive duties.
66’: Pavlenka with a wonderful stop! Gregoritsch is one-on-one with the ‘keeper, but Werder’s number 1 sticks out a leg and brilliantly deflects the ball over the bar. The following corner is defended well.
72’: Gregoritsch has another attempt, but the ball is blocked again and lands at the feet of Sildillia, who powerfully fires well wide.
80’: Freiburg double their advantage from 12 yards. Felix Agu brings down Grifo inside the penalty area, and the man who won the spot-kick scores.
84’: The home side hunt for their third goal. Günter crosses low from the left for the onrushing Ritsu Doan. The Japanese international misses from just a couple of yards out, though.
90’+6: The full time whistle comes on a 2-0 defeat for Werder in Freiburg.
