Kübler clinches Freiburg's Conference League victory at Trabzonspor
Freiburg picked up a second win in their Conference League campaign thanks to Lukas Kübler reacting quickest in a 1-0 win at Trabzonspor on Thursday. The Germans, among the favourites for glory having been runners-up in the Euopa League last term, went ahead on 14 minutes when André Onana could only parry Igor Matanović's header from a corner and full back Kübler pounced.
Lukas Kübler secured Freiburg's Conference League victory with a crucial goal against Trabzonspor. The German side, who are among the favorites for the title after their second-place finish in the Europa League last season, scored in the 14th minute when Onana failed to deal with a header from Matanović, allowing Kübler to capitalize.
Kübler, who started in the absence of injured Philipp Treu, played a pivotal role in Freiburg's first win of the campaign. Trabzonspor, who currently sit eighth in the league, failed to secure a win in the league phase and find themselves in eighth place, just inside the automatic last-16 spots with three games remaining. Freiburg, on the other hand, are in 11th place, holding a seeded play-off position.
