Match highlights
Kramaric misses by centimetres
Tabakovic wins the ball after it gets away from Kübler. He passes to Kramaric with his heel and the Croatian player takes a shot at the far corner, but the ball misses the post by a hair.
Manzambi hits the post
The biggest chance of the game so far: Manzambi outplays Chaves and then Akpoguma, but his shot hits the post.
Müller stops Kramaric
Huge chance for TSG: Stach takes a shot from 16 metres away, Kramaric gets his foot to it, but Müller reacts quickly and is able to knock the ball away.
Freiburg go into the lead
Doan outplays Nsoki down the right wing, then passes to Manzambi who uses his heel to pass to Höler. Höler pivots and scores with a flat shot to the bottom right of the net.
Doan extends lead
Freiburg are clinical and score a second goal: Grifo passes to Doan, who takes a shot from around 22 metres away and scores with a neatly placed shot to the bottom right corner.
Baumann makes save
Baumann prevents a third Freiburg goal with an exceptional parry. Following a cross, the ball lands at Kübler's feet near the far post. The TSG keeper just manages to nudge his shot over the crossbar.
TSG close the gap
TSG score shortly before half time. Bischof's free kick from the centre line reaches Bülter, who heads the ball into the centre. Höler blocks a shot by Tabakovic, but the ball bounces back to Bülter, whose deflected shot goes into the net.
TSG equalise
The equaliser comes before half time! Bülter crosses into the centre, Kramaric volleys the ball and scores, making it 2-2. A wild few minutes of added time!
Toure narrowly misses
Bülter nutmegs a Freiburg player and chips the ball in the direction of the box. Toure tries to get his head to it and misses by a few centimetres, but even without the Ivorian's help the ball only narrowly misses the post.
Freiburg ahead again
Freiburg go into the lead again. Doan follows a long ball into the penalty area and then passes out to Grifo. The former Hoffenheim player brings the ball back into the centre, where Höler is completely free and puts the ball in the net.
