Another goal disallowed
It's just not Freiburg's day today. Höler darts into the box on the right and pulls the ball back into the middle, where Dōan pokes in from close range. It's ruled out for offside following another VAR review though. That's a missed penalty and two goals chalked off for the hosts today...
84'
Consolation?
To their credit, Freiburg haven't given up and are still trying to get at least a goal back. They've lacked the necessary spark in the final third all day, though.
73'
Game over?
It's another clinical finish from Pauli, who are well on course for a smash-and-grab win here. Take nothing away from Saad though, who drives forward down the left, skips past three defenders and shoots. It's straight at Atabolu, who should do better, but can only palm it into his own net.

Goal disallowed!
Grifo whips an in-swinging free-kick into the box from the left, perfectly picking out Lienhart to head in from close range! After a VAR review, however, the goal is ruled out for offside.

Free-kick
It's another free-kick in a promising position for Pauli. Smith takes it again and tries the same trick as in the first half: instead of crossing into the middle he bends the ball around the outside of the wall towards the near post. Atubolu reads his intentions though and makes a comfortable save.
58'
Changes afoot?
You suspect that Freiburg coach Schuster will be thinking about bringing on some substitutes soon if his team are to turn this around. They've looked toothless so far in attack. Gregoritsch and Höler would be the leading candidates to come off the bench.

More of the same
The game is following the same pattern as the first half so far: Freiburg have the ball and are playing in Pauli's half, but they're not looking dangerous. The visitors are waiting to pounce on the counter.

Peeeep!
And we're up and running again in the Black Forest.

Pauli double their lead!
Saad mis-hits his attempted shot inside the box but it falls perfectly for Afolayan, who makes no mistake with a first-time strike from close to the penalty spot.

Penalty saved!
Vasilj guesses the right way, going low to his left to stop Grifo's spot-kick before scrambling to gather up the rebound!

Penalty to Freiburg!
Ginter is brought to ground inside the Pauli box while trying to get on the end of a cross from the left. The referee checks his pitch-side monitor and wards a penalty.

Hope for Freiburg
Julian Schuster's side have gone behind in each of their three Bundesliga home games this season. However, they still managed to come from behind to win the previous two: a 3-1 success against VfB Stuttgart and a 2-1 victory over Bochum.
36'
Crossbar!
Smith takes the set piece, disguising it brilliantly. Instead of crossing into the crowded centre, he goes around the other side of the wall and smacks his effort off the bar!

Free-kick to Pauli
Ginter is booked for hauling down Saad just outside the Freiburg box, over towards the right...

Sitting deep
Pauli are currently happy to let Freiburg come at them. There's no high press; the visitors only begin to harry and chase once Freiburg cross the halfway line.

Grifo special
Freiburg win a free-kick just outside the Pauli penalty area. Grifo takes it and lifts the ball up and over the wall, but it lacks the pace to beat the goalkeeper.

Pauli lead!
It's the first shot of the game and it's a goal. Freiburg struggle to deal with a ball into their box from the right and Saad manages to wriggle free to poke in from close range!

Slow burner?

100 up for Eggestein
That's Freiburg's Maximilian, who makes his 100th Bundesliga appearance for Freiburg. And it comes in the game where he comes up against his brother Johannes for Pauli. You suspect there might be a few Eggesteins inside the Europa-Park Stadion today.

Both sides unchanged
Julian Schuster sees no reason to alter his team that won 3-0 in Heidenheim last week. Alexander Blessin also sticks with the same XI that started the goalless draw with Leipzig.

Strong Bundesliga record against Freiburg
While Pauli are still waiting to end that top-flight drought, they do at least have happy memories of facing Freiburg in the Bundesliga. They have lost just one of their eight meetings with the Bresigau Brasilianer amongst the elite, with Freiburg only winning a smaller percentage of their matches against Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
Long time coming
Promoted at the end of last season after 13 years away from the big time, Pauli are winless in 16 Bundesliga matches, dating back to a 1-0 victory at city rivals Hamburg on 16 February 2011. Seventeen would equal the club's unwanted record.
