Paderborn
SC Freiburg
Outstanding performance
SC Freiburg•DefenderPaderborn controlled large spells of possession, finishing with 59% of the ball and out-passing Freiburg 531 to 362, but they could not turn that control into clear-cut chances, managing zero big chances created all game. Freiburg, by contrast, needed just one moment of quality as Maximilian Eggestein struck in the 26th minute to settle the contest, and they defended resolutely thereafter despite picking up five yellow cards in a physical second-half battle. The visitors were the more clinical side, generating a big chance and testing the keeper five times on target compared to Paderborn's three, showing the value of efficiency over sheer volume of possession. For Freiburg this is a solid away result to build momentum, while Paderborn will be frustrated at wasting their territorial dominance against a team ranked well below them in overall quality.
