Full-time: Wolfsburg 0-1 Freiburg

The hosts eek out a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to Rosenfelder's first Bundesliga goal. Arnold's red card was the real turning point of the match as that set the visitors on their way and despite the hosts attempting to rally, Freiburg were able to hold out for a vital three points. For now, they are in the Champions League places.

A lack of creativity

Wolfsburg are the team asking the questions, but they are unable to put together any meaningful attacks. Freiburg are repelling every ball into the box with ease.

Despite Wolfsburg being down to ten men, they are still in this one and are fighting for at least a point. Freiburg have been too passive in the second half.

All Wolfsburg now

Strange though it may seem, Freiburg have gone into their shells this half and Wolfsburg are in control.

Rosenfelder breaks the deadlock

Rosenfelder's fantastic strike was his first ever in the Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg giving it a go

Despite being at a man disadvantage, Wolfsburg are still sending players forward looking for a way back into the game.

Paredes in the book and off the pitch

Paredes brings down Osterhage to stop a Freiburg counter and hurts himself in the process. He picks up a yellow for his troubles and also has to leave the pitch with an injury. He is replaced by Kamiński.

Freiburg have a deserved lead

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals> xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals> goals).

That goal had certainly been coming. Freiburg have been on top for much of this game.

Goals

Lovely strike!

Freiburg have the lead they deserve and it comes through Rosenfelder's first-ever Bundesliga goal. Höler tries to get a cross in from the right that is deflected into the path of Rosenfelder. He gets it out of his feet well and loops a left-footed half volley into the top corner. Great goal!

Can either side make the breakthrough?

後半開始

Wolfsburg 0-0 Freiburg

Level at the break, but the hosts are significantly under the cosh after Arnold's red card. They had started well too, but that red card has put Freiburg firmly in charge. The visitors have had several chances to take the lead through both Adamu and Höler, although we remain level at the interval.

Added time

Just two minutes to play at the end of this half.

43'

Another big opportunity!

This time, it is Ginter who nearly breaks the deadlock. Adamu puts in a low cross that is deflected into the air by Vavro and then met by Ginter, but the Freiburg defender can only head over from close range. That flick from Vavro was vital, as otherwise, it would have been a tap-in for Ginter.

41'

A lack of discipline

Amoura becomes the latest Wolfsburg player to go into the book and he is swiftly joined by Hasenhüttl, who is booked for his complaints. The hosts need to be careful, they don't want to be playing with nine men.

A damaging mistake

After a positive start, the hosts have been under a lot of pressure since that red card, but so far, they are holding firm.

Good effort, even better save!

Grifo has a huge chance to open the scoring after latching onto a loose ball in the box, but Grabara reacts well to palm away the shot.

Freiburg controlling the ball

As you might expect given the man advantage, Freiburg are now in control of this game.

Reckless from the skipper

That red card is Arnold's fourth of his career.

Reckless from the skipper

Adamu skips past Arnold and the Wolfsburg captain catches Adamu high on the ankle. Initially, he is shown a yellow, but the card is upgraded to a red after a review.

Another effort from Adamu

The Austrian pounces on another loose ball and hits one, but the effort doesn't pose Grabara any real threat.

20'

Wasteful from Adamu

That was the biggest chance of the game so far. Adamu is fed through on goal with just Grabara in front of him, but he scuffs a left-footed shot well wide.

18'

So close to the opener!

The hosts look to counter through Fischer. His cross pinballs around the box before falling to Wind. He hits it, but his shot drifts agonisingly wide.

17'

Vavro nods one goalwards

Wolfsburg win a free-kick high up the field. The ball is whipped in with pace and headed towards goal by Vavro, but his header drifts wide.

14'

Big chance!

Grifo gets down the right and stands up a cross to the back post for Höler, he gets on the end of it, but he can't keep his header down. That was an opportunity.

An even start

No real chances in the first few minutes, with both sides having an even share of the ball.

Another effort from Wimmer

The Austrian cuts inside from the left and hits one from range, but his effort drifts comfortably wide.

Silly

Koulierakis gets himself in the book early on by throwing an extra ball onto the pitch to delay the restart. That was unnecessary.

A good start

The hosts have started with real intent, although they are yet to create any real chances.

An early effort

Wolfsburg get the shot counter running with an early effort from Wimmer, but his shot is very simple for Müller.

More on those teams

Wolfsburg are unchanged from their 2-2 draw with Mainz as they look to keep their slim hopes of European football alive. Freiburg, on the other hand, make two changes from their narrow win against Hoffenheim as Rosenfelder and Adamu come into the starting XI with Manzambi and Kübler dropping to the bench. A win would lift the visitors into the Champions League places.

Ralph Hasenhüttl on Freiburg

"Freiburg are a top opponent, they beat 3-2 in the reverse fixture. They caused us problems back then, and it is now up to us to show that we have made progress since then and that we can beat such an opponent at home. That should be the motivation for everyone."

Julian Schuster's thoughts on Wolfsburg

"It's true that they've had these difficult results, but on the other hand – if you look at the games – the quality they have is clear. They have a very large squad with many interesting players."

Home concerns

Wolfsburg are currently winless in six home games (four draws, two losses). Their last victory at the Volkswagen Arena was a 5-1 thumping of Borussia Mönchengladbach on 14 January.
