Branimir Hrgota's composed finish got Frankfurt off to a flying start, but after Danny Blum missed a chance to make it two, Freiburg levelled. Nicolas Höfler’s fine through-ball split the home defence in two, allowing Niederlechner to race clear, round Lukas Hradecky and fire home into the empty net. Ante Rebic did have the ball in the Freiburg net before the half was up, but the goal was ruled out for a foul on visiting goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow.

Sensing luck might be on their side, Freiburg went ahead for the first time early in the second half. The Frankfurt players appealed for offside as Vincenzo Grifo slipped in Niederlechner, who finished with aplomb to bring up his seventh Bundesliga goal of the campaign. Niko Kovac called on the cavalry in a desperate attempt to turn the tide, but there was to be no divine intervention from resident 'Football God' Alexander Meier, whose last-gasp effort was brilliantly repelled by Schwolow.
