Incredible save!!
Wow! Union can only clear the ball as far as Beste, who unleashes a curling left-footed effort from outside the area, but Raab - on his debut - is equal to it, pulling off a magnificent save.

There it is!!!
It's the substitute who breaks the deadlock and it's the former Freiburg player. Jeong collects the ball on the right, drifts inside before placing a curling effort into the bottom corner past Atubolu.
Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Almost an instant impact! With practically his first touch of the ball, Král brings it under control before firing a low shot towards goal, which is saved by Atubolu.
65'

Good omens
Freiburg have scored in each of their last 22 games across all competitions at home. Can they find a way through here?

Chance!

Freiburg blink first
Höler has been unable to impose himself on the game. Suzuki comes on in his place.

Ooft!
The free-kick is almost too close to the goal. With Grifo on the bench, Scherhant fires his effort over with pace when placing it might have been the better option.

Positive!
Manzambi collects the ball and drives forward, winning a free-kick in a dangerous situation on the edge of the box after being brought down by Nsoki.
49'
High pressing
Union look to break through on the counter-attack, but Freiburg are alert to the situation. That could have been dangerous!

We go again
Freiburg get the ball rolling with both teams remaining unchanged. Who will break the deadlock first?

No way through
Union are doing an excellent job of squeezing Freiburg into central positions. Both Scherhant and Irié have cut inside in the last moments but Doekhi and Co. are, so far, proving an immovable object as the hosts struggle to find a way through.
36'
Teasing cross
Freiburg continue to control the majority of the possession and their next chance arrives when Makengo whips a delicious low cross into the penalty area, but Union are able to clear.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Another chance!
Chances are arriving in quick succession now for Freiburg. Scherhant drives forward down the left before cutting inside and bending one, but Raab is alert to the danger and is able to gather the ball.
21'
Eggestein shoots!
But it takes a deflection and goes behind from a corner which is met by the head of Ginter. The Freiburg defender is unable to generate any power on it, allowing Raab to gather with ease.

Köhn goes in late on Manzambi, and is shown the first card.

That's more promising
Freiburg are finding their shooting boots now. Cutting inside from the right, Irié tries his luck from distance but it goes high over Raab's crossbar.
13'
First shot for Freiburg
Irié's silky dribbling brings two Union defenders out of position. The youngster finds Treu who passes inside for Eggestein. The Freiburg midfielder tries his luck from just inside the area, but it sails over.

Visitors probing
Again it's the hosts who look more promising going forward. This time Ilić lays the ball off to Köhn but instead of shooting, he chips in a ball towards the far post, which just eludes the advancing Burcu.

Lively start
Already Union are showing intent. Burcu collects the ball in a central position and plays it wide to Köhn, who takes a touch before unleashing a long range effort towards Atubolu, who is able to get down low to collect the ball.
