Full-time: Leverkusen 2-0 Freiburg

Leverkusen dominate proceedings to pick up their fifth win in six Bundesliga games under Hjulmand with goals from Poku and Tapsoba as Freiburg suffer their third league defeat of the season. Lienhart was sent off for a second bookable offence which was always going to make it difficult for the visitors, who came closest through Scherhant in the opening exchanges.

Leverkusen go close again

Grimaldo is at the heart of everything that Leverkusen create. The Spaniard plays in Kofane, who cuts inside onto his favoured right foot, fires his effort the wrong side of Atubolu's post.

Huge chance!

García showcases excellent vision to see Poku run in behind. The Dutchman finds himself on the end of a superb long ball and forces Atubolu into an excellent save, but the rebound is fired wide from Arthur.

Leverkusen at the double!

Grimaldo plays a short corner with García before setting the Spaniard up for a cross that's whipped in with his left foot, which is met by the head of Tapsoba who makes no mistake.

Almost a gift!

It's all Freiburg at the moment. They press high up in Leverkusen's defensive third, forcing Fernández into a loose pass which is intercepted by Adamu. The Freiburg forward unleashes a powerful left-footed shot which is deflected wide by Flekken.

Over from Lienhart

Kasper Hjulmand on facing Freiburg

"Freiburg play with a clear structure. They play direct forward passes and a lot of crosses, and have a real weapon in [Vincenzo] Grifo, like we do with [Alejandro] Grimaldo. They’re very well trained: what they do, they do well. They’re strong in the tackle and attack with purpose. They’re a very good side."

Midweek blip

Freiburg were one of four Bundesliga teams to win in Europe this week. Leverkusen, meanwhile, were one of three beaten, suffering a 7-2 loss to Champions League holders PSG. It was Hjulmand's first defeat since replacing Erik ten Hag, following four wins and three draws to start his tenure.

Rest and prep

Following Freiburg's 2-0 win over Utrecht in the Europa League on Thursday, there will be no pre-match press conference involving head coach Julian Schuster.

Nose for goal intact

Despite Florian Wirtz's summer departure and Patrik Schick's injury, Leverkusen are this season's third-highest scorers (16 goals). Only Eintracht Frankfurt (19) and Bayern Munich (27) have registered more after seven games.
