Freiburg bag late winner against Schalke to go top of the Bundesliga
The 2-1 win put Freiburg ahead of Borussia Dortmund on goal difference, with both on 13 points, while Bayern Munich sit third on 11.
Freiburg secured a 2-1 victory over Schalke 04 at Europa-Park-Stadion, thanks to an 85th-minute goal by Keisuke Goto, putting them at the top of the Bundesliga table. The German side, which had started with ten points from their first four matches, climbed to 13 points, surpassing Borussia Dortmund in the standings. Current champions Bayern, who drew 2-2 with Augsburg on Saturday, are in third place with 11 points.
In the early stages, Maximilian Eggestein gave Freiburg the lead, but Schalke responded through Adrian Gantenbein in the 30th minute. Despite being down to ten men after Yuito Suzuki's second yellow card in the 64th minute, Schalke's attack proved ineffective against the well-organized Freiburg defense. The Japanese international Keisuke Goto capitalized on the turnaround by heading home a glancing shot five minutes from time, sealing the win for Freiburg and securing their top position in the Bundesliga.
