Freiburg gives the lead of the standings Leverkusen with 13 points with the team from Breisgau, who in the BayArena conceded his first defeat in the season and lost the lead of the standings in favor of FC Bayern. The team of coach Julian Schuster welcomes the people of Munich next week for a direct duel. I think one point would have been fair. When you meet such a team at eye level, it makes it all the more annoying to go home without a point, said SCF coach Schuster of the sports show. Leverkusens Schick with special praise for Maza For us it was a very important game for the table and we wanted to show our fans a top performance. The record makes me happy, but that is also my job. At the moment everything is going well for me and the team, said Schick - and the scorer had a special praise with a wink for his colleague Maza ready. Ibo’s assist was, of course, incredible. But I also gave him an assist, so we’re 50:50. Freiburg fan protest with tennis balls The game had to be interrupted shortly after the kick-off around five minutes, because the Freiburg fans traveled with them in protest against "material bans" repeatedly threw tennis balls on the lawn. Freiburg coach Schuster was visibly indignant about this, ran again and again into the guest curve of the Leverkusen stadium, until the throws were stopped. Treu leads the lead for the SCF a hardly had the game really started, the Freiburgers were already in the lead. The team from Breisgau started a counterattack over Phillip Treu on the right. His passport came to Jan-Niklas Beste, who - under the eyes of national coach Jürgen Klopp - again matched the new national player. Treu then operated Scherhant with a perfect cross-pass. The SCF attacker and also debutant in the national team under Klopp, effortlessly transformed from eight meters to 1-0. We did a good game but got two goals that were far too easy. That just hurts, said the Freiburg goal scorer of the sports show. High playful level The lead lasted, however, only about five minutes. After a long ball in the Freiburg half and a worth seeing combination via Moussa Diaby and Patrik Schick, Maza came from ten meters to the ball and turned with a flat shot by outsider to 1:1. Both teams then repeatedly showed their playful abilities, the level and the pace remained high, without one of the two teams developing further goal opportunities until the break whistle. Declining entertainment value between Leverkusen and Freiburg After the break, the Martinez team initially acted more actively and dominantly. However, it was difficult for the Leverkuseners to prevail decisively against the compact defensive of the Freiburgers. The game remained balanced overall, but both teams were afraid to take the last risk. This also affected a little the game flow, the entertainment value decreased significantly with increasing game duration. Bayer's Maza with outstanding action A single action decided the game. Maza duped two Freiburg defenders one after the other with a leg shot on the Toraus line and then operated Schick precisely. The top striker only needed to turn from six meters to the 2:1 final score. In the last minutes, the Werkself brought the lead with a lot of effort and luck over the time, because Lucas Höler gave the compensation with the final whistle from five meters with his head.
