The Black-and-Yellows maintained their unbeaten run facing the Breisgau-Brasilianer, who haven't won a match against BVB since the 21/22 season.

Even with Freiburg taking up the initiative in the beginning, it did not take long for those counters to start appearing.
With that, Chukwuemeka, Guirassay, and Gittens made it a very comfortable lead to the visitors by the 80th minute — 4-nil. Freiburg found their consolation goal very late into the match with Eggestein's shot at Kobel's corner, but it was too much too late.
