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.
On Sunday, Keisuke Goto scored a late winner for Freiburg, securing a 2-1 victory over Schalke 04 and putting the team at the top of the Bundesliga. The German side, which had already accumulated 10 points from their first four matches, now sits on 13 points, leading Borussia Dortmund in the standings by goal difference. Champions Bayern, who drew 2-2 against Augsburg the previous weekend, currently occupy third place with 11 points.
Freiburg took the lead early on, with Maximilian Eggestein putting the hosts ahead after just 10 minutes. However, Schalke equalized through Adrian Gantenbein in the 30th minute. With Yuito Suzuki receiving a second yellow card in the 64th minute, Freiburg were reduced to 10 men for the remainder of the match. Despite this numerical disadvantage, the visitors failed to capitalize on their extra man and were notably defensive and lacking in attacking prowess, allowing Goto to take advantage with a glancing header in the 85th minute.
