Full-time: Freiburg 1-2 Wolfsburg

After an action-packed second half, Wolfsburg depart the Black Forest with all three points! Sebastiaan Bornauw's own goal gifted Freiburg the lead shortly before the half-time whistle, but Kevin Sildillia's red card gave Die Wölfe hope of getting something from the encounter. That they ultimately did, and then some, as Maximilian Arnold fired home a wonderful free-kick before Maxence Lacroix's effort from outside the area secured the win. In between those two late strikes, Rolland Sallai had an opportunity to clinch the win for the hosts instead, but he was unable to convert his penalty.

Lacroix surely wins it!

Incredible! Lacroix rarely finds the back of the net, and he will unlikely net a better strike than this any time soon, finding the back of the net with a stunning shot from distance.

Wolfsburg back on level terms!

The visitors have taken advantage of their numerical advantage to restore parity! As has so often been the case down the years, Arnold produces some magic, curling a wonderful free-kick beyond Atubolu's desperate grasp. Is there still time for a winner?

Half-time: Freiburg 1-0 Wolfsburg

The home side take a narrow advantage into the break, courtesy of Sebastiaan Bornauw's own goal. Freiburg could have been in a far more comfortable position, too, had they been more clinical in front of goal. As it is, Wolfsburg are still in the game at the interval.

Streich on Wolfsburg

"Preparing for the Wolfsburg match was very difficult because they have acted differently since Ralph has been there... If you let them play, if you let them vent their anger, you're going to have problems."

Hasenhüttl before Freiburg

"I don't have the feeling that anyone in the team is sitting back because we won against Bochum. You can tell that the boys are stepping on the gas and the second row are also providing options. That makes the units and us better."

Goals guaranteed

The last time a match between these teams finished 0-0 was over 22 years ago, when it finished goalless in Freiburg in February 2002.

Unwanted run

Freiburg are currently on a six-game winless streak at home. The only time they've had a longer such barren sequence on their own patch under head coach Christian Streich was when they went eight without victory in 2013.

Watch: Freiburg safe

Christian Streich's side drew 1-1 with Mainz at the weekend, the result taking them to the magic 40-point mark that traditionally guarantees safety. Freiburg are also mathematically secure given their 13-point advantage over the drop zone, with just 12 more points available.

Watch: Wolfsburg finally win again

The Wolves earned just their second victory under Ralph Hasenhüttl on Matchday 30, and it was a much-needed one at that. Their triumph over fellow relegation candidates Bochum has moved VfL four points clear of the drop zone going into Matchday 31.

Watch: Previous meeting - Wolfsburg 0-1 Freiburg

A goal from Michael Gregoritsch was enough for Freiburg to take the win at the Volkswagen Arena in December.
