Nathan Tella and Robert Andrich provide the fresh legs for Leverkusen.
82'
Bayer hit the post
Wirtz swings at Grimaldo's searching centre into the box and Adubolu looks on in panic as the ball heads goalwards before striking the post. Difficult to gauge if Wirtz actually got a touch on that.
81'
Keitel first
Yannik Keitel has his first Bundesliga goal in his 55th top-flight game! It comes with his 26th shot on goal during that time.
80'
Freiburg back in it!
The Europa-Park Stadion goes from relative silence to a cauldron of noise as Yannik Keitel slams in at the second attempt following Hrádecký's initial block. Game on!
77'
Changes aplenty
Amine Adli is on for the visitors with Leverkusen goalscorer Patrik Schick making way. Freiburg, meanwhile, have Keitel and Philipp on the pitch.
75'
No way through
Frimpong, Wirtz and Hložek combine to cause plenty of menace inside the Freiburg area. The hosts manage to clear their lines this time.
73'
Höfler booking
Höfler bundles Schick over just outside the Freiburg area. A yellow card ensues for Höfler. Grimaldo slams the subsequent set-piece into the wall.
68'
Goal hunt
Leverkusen now have 66 goals after 26 matchdays, which is a record mark for them at this stage of the season. Their full-season record (achieved in 2021/22) is just six shy of the current total.
64'
Freiburg changes
Christian Streich throws Gregoritsch, Muslija and Lienhart into the mix as he looks to switch things up here.

Christian Günter crosses and Merlin Röhl glances a header wide of the Leverkusen upright. At the opposite end, Grimaldo darts a shot across the bows and off target.

Leaders leading
As things stand, Leverkusen have their ten-point advantage at the top of the Bundesliga standings back.
54'
B04 have daylight
Leverkusen break forward again and Frimpong has the ball on the right. The full-back's cross is aimed at Schick and Leverkusen's Europa League hero opens his body and guides a wonderful flighted finish with his left foot in off the far post.

Hložek denied
Suddenly Adam Hložek finds himself in a bit of space in front of the Freiburg area but the Czech's shot takes a huge deflection and Atubolu can gather.

B04 pick up pace
The half-time break has added some extra fuel to Leverkusen's engines as they go hunting for another goal here.

Off we go again
Leverkusen start the second half. Can the hosts fight back again or will B04 see this one out? We're about to find out.

Atubolu rescues hosts
Höler loses his focus and suddenly Palacios robs possession and gets into the Freiburg box on the left. A subsequent shot is blocked out by Atubolu.
42'
Hložek collector's item
It's only Adam Hložek's second Bundesliga goal of the season and first since Matchday 3.
41'
Bayer back in front
Leverkusen pop the ball about in the final third when Wirtz feeds Grimaldo inside the Freiburg area. Atubolu's attempt to come out and block the Spaniard doesn't go quite as planned and Schick can nip in to roll across for Adam Hložek, who side-foots into the empty net.

End-to-end
Freiburg burst forward with Sallai and Röhl almost forcing an opening. Leverkusen survive and go right back up the other end, with Frimpong a little wasteful when well positioned in front of the area.

Hincapié off target
Piero Hincapié gets forward and attempts with a long-ranger that might have just left the stadium.
26'
Freiburg again
Again the home team advance and this time it's Roland Sallai in the centre with a chance to shoot. The Hungarian swings and catches air and the chance is suddenly gone.
24'
Röhl rocket
The ball pops up very nicely for Merlin Röhl and the Freiburg No. 34 belts a shot on the half-volley that zips into the side-netting. The Freiburg fans on the opposite side thought that was in.
21'
No-go Günter
Günter tries one from range but that's never troubling Hrádecký.

Grimaldo the Great
What a season the Spanish full-back is having in the Bundesliga. He has collected his 11th assist of the season today and goes joint-top of the assist charts with Leroy Sané.
14'
Freiburg ascending
The hosts are on fire since scoring that equaliser. Dōan dinks a decent pass towards Grifo, who is beaten to the ball by Tah.

Freiburg on terms
Amazing! Freiburg venture forward for the first time with Ritsu Dōan wide on the right. The Japanese international plays a give-and-go with Höler, who nutmegs Hincapié with a pass that is right back into Dōan's path. The winger then smacks a low shot in at the near post. What a game!

Unsurprisingly, Leverkusen have bagged their fastest goal of the season, while Freiburg conceded their quickest goal in 2023/24.

Power up
Wirtz's terrific shot that flew past Atubolu was clocked at almost 66 mp/h.

Pick that out !
90 seconds in and Florian Wirtz nets a worldie! Grimaldo advances in acres of space and rolls the ball forward to Wirtz, who from inside the area to the left, cuts outside to leave two Freiburg players for dead. The 20-year-old then curls a shot into the far corner. Sublime.

Peeeep!
The referee's whistle sounds out and Freiburg get us underway.

Almost there
Both sets of players take to the pitch, go through the usual pre-game handshakes and then it's time for the captains to meet in the centre circle for the coin toss.
Teams in tunnel
The fans inside the Europa-Park Stadion are on their feet as the teams gather in the tunnel. Not long to kick-off now!

History favours leaders
Will Freiburg be the team to finally put an end to Leverkusen's astounding unbeaten run today? Christian Streich's side certainly don't have recent history in their favour, being winless in 15 against the teams that have occupied top place in the standings (three draws, 12 defeats).
More on Leverkusen's team
Jonas Hofmann isn't fit to play after hobbling off in the Europa League on Thursday. Adam Hložek takes his place. Patrik Schick starts up front having hit a brace against Qarabağ.
More on Freiburg's team
Youngster Merlin Röhl comes into Freiburg's midfield to replace the suspended Maximilian Eggestein. Michael Gregoritsch has to settle for a place on the bench despite his recent European heroics.
