It was a typically cool and calm finish from the attacking midfielder, as he slotted past Kamil Grabara to notch his fifth league goal of the season.

In addition this latest scoring record, Grifo also finds himself fourth on the club's all-time appearances list with 331; team-mate Christian Günter is top with 448.

Freiburg are ninth going into the winter break and primed for a battle for the European spots, whilst balancing current European committments of their own in the Europa League this season.
