Borussia Dortmund impressively continued his chase in the Bundesliga and also travels with a positive feeling for the highlight game in the Champions League at FC Barcelona.
The BVB, which was so in constant this season, won 4: 1 (1-0) at SC Freiburg and was allowed to cheer again almost a week after the recent mood of the FSV Mainz 05 (3: 1). With the fifth game without a win, the Breisgauer received the next setback in the fight for the European Cup places.
Karim Adeyemi in the 35th minute, Carney Chukwuemeka (52nd) as well as the two substituted Serhou Guirassy (68th) and Jamie Gitten (78th) scored the goals of the day for Borussia in front of 34,700 spectators and spread so quietly in BVB camp against the Catalan on Wednesday. The final point of Maximilian Eggestein no longer changed (88th).
But not only on European stage, also in the league for Borussia is still all or nothing. Because there the “Revier Club” is currently fighting to connect to the upper third of the table after a playing time that has been mixed so far.

“We play against a direct competitor,” Dortmund coach Niko Kovac pointed out to the table situation and pushed towards his protégés: “It’s about constancy and stability.” But in one of the two teams briskly, the back team of the 53-year-old was particularly wobbling.
After less than a quarter of an hour, Junior Adamu had the Freiburg leadership on his foot. However, the attacker failed to successfully complete a dream combination from a short distance. Just five minutes later, the guests were lucky when Ramy Bensebaini jumped the ball in the penalty area. Referee Felix Zwayer decided against a whistle.

Gaming the BVB has now won against Freiburg in a row
SC coach Julian Schuster was looking forward to a “great challenge” for his team in advance. Without the injured goalkeeper Noah Atubolu and the captain Christian Günter sitting on the bench, the Freiburger did their job properly in the first half over long distances. They started the Borussia early and always fought the ball. In the game forward, however, the necessary consequence was missing.
That should take revenge. After half an hour, BVB now had more control over the game and immediately rewarded itself through Adeyemi, who acted quickly than the SC defense.
The game picked up speed again after the break. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and Bensbaini saved in a network against the nimble Ritsu Doan. Freiburg thus had the first option again, but the goals fell again on the other side. A deflected shot from loan Chukwuemeka found its way into the goal via detours.
The SC was not yet beaten. Lucas Höler tried it out of the turn, but pushed the ball past the opposing housing (56.). Dortmund, however, had the game under control and, thanks to the goals of Guirassy and Gittens, left no doubt about the victory against favorite opponents Freiburg – the seventh in a row. Freiburg’s Eggestein only achieved 1: 4.
