A 5-0 victory marked the start of the 23rd matchday in the 1st Bundesliga, as SC Freiburg dominated Werder Bremen at the Europa-Park-Stadion.
The Freiburg offense demonstrated high efficiency, with Kiliann Sildillia opening the scoring in the 15th minute through a clever backheel. Vincenzo Grifo then converted a free-kick in the 33rd minute to extend the lead. The home side’s advantage was further increased by Grifo’s second goal in the 57th minute. Ritsu Doan sealed the clear home win with goals in the 76th minute and the 2nd minute of stoppage time.
Despite occasional periods of control and a few chances, including a VAR-confirmed penalty that was saved by Noah Atubolu, Werder Bremen lacked the necessary precision in front of goal. Freiburg’s compact defense and consistent counter-pressing left the visitors often struggling to create opportunities.
