Full-time: Freiburg 2-1 Bochum

Freiburg come from behind for the second time this season to pick up all three points. Despite dominating the first half, the hosts fell behind to a Myron Boadu goal on the stroke of half-time. However, their heads didn't drop, and two goals from Junior Adamu - his first Bundesliga efforts for the club since a January move from Red Bull Salzburg - inside three second-half minutes secured the win.

Kwarteng shoots high and wide. Time is running out for the visitors in their search for a first point of the 2024/25 term.

Close call

Höler slots into the corner via the post, but is in an offside position when he picks up the ball. That could have been the points settled.

Almost the hat-trick

Adamu's header goes over the bar from close range. He will be hoping he does not rue that miss, and he is taken off shortly after.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).
Freiburg have had the better chances, as xGoals suggest, and have put them to good use so far.

Just wide

Hofmann almost finds the bottom corner - instead, though, his low attempt grazes the right post and goes behind.

Man of the moment

Adamu has turned this game on its head with his brace. He now has four goals this season in all competitions.

Rolling the dice

Zeidler looks to give his side extra impetus with a triple change.

Should be three!

For a man with such a brilliant right foot, Grifo should do better than firing his shot over the bar when blessed with plenty of time and space at the back post.

Turnaround complete

In the end, Freiburg needed just three minutes to go in front. Adamu has got his eye in, clearly, as his admittedly heavily-deflected shot nestles in the corner after some penalty-area pinball.

Incredible!

Somehow, Freiburg are still behind! A free-kick beats everybody before arriving at Adamu's feet at the back post. From a tight angle, the centre-forward shoots goalwards, but Drewes is on the line to keep it out. The Bochum shot-stopper is having a brilliant game so far.

Off the mark

After a disappointing beginning to the season, that goal could be crucial as Zeidler looks to usher in a new era.

Half-time: Freiburg 0-1 Bochum

Despite being on top for much of the half, Freiburg are behind at the interval to Myron Boadu's first goal for the club. Ritsu Dōan led the hosts' charge but was thrice denied by Patrick Drewes between the sticks.

Boadu, Zeidler and Bochum off the mark.

That effort was the goalscorer's first for his new club, while it was also Peter Zeidler's first as a Bundesliga head coach. It also means Bochum are off the mark this term, too.

Out of nowhere

The visitors have been quiet so far, but they are now in front! Wittek fires something between a cross and a shot across the face of goal, and Boadu is there to tap into an empty net!

The striker tries his luck from a tight angle but can't keep his effort down. Freiburg, though, are turning up the pressure here and look the more likely to break the deadlock.

Freiburg have burst into life, yet they remain on level terms. Dōan has been particularly dangerous in this clash, and he draws two crucial stops from Drewes from close range.

While Freiburg have claimed victory already this season, Bochum have lost both of their opening fixtures. They will be hoping today's the day they get up and running.

Zeidler on facing Freiburg

"We have lots of good strikers who haven't scored yet. We just need to create more than against Gladbach and then look to convert them. It sounds trivial, but it's about conviction and also the desire to go to Freiburg and get something. If we approach it with this positive attitude, we have a very good chance. We're confident we can end our drought and get our first goal tomorrow. But we also have to limit opposition chances as well."

Schuster on facing Bochum and his side's season so far

"Bochum are very physical and can be very unpleasant. They are very flexible with their formation. We made it through the first round of the cup with a great performance. We started at home with a brilliant win. We definitely had a performance in Munich we can build on too."

Nul points

As well as losing twice in the Bundesliga to start 2024/25, Bochum went out of the DFB Cup to Bundesliga 2's Jahn Regensburg. That means Peter Zeidler has the unwanted record of being the club's first senior coach to lose his first three competitive games in charge.
