Freiburg beat Union Berlin 2-0 to move third in Bundesliga

SC Freiburg defeated Union Berlin 2-0 at home on Sunday to record their sixth Bundesliga win of the 2026/27 season and move into third place, according to Get German Football News. The report said Freiburg will spend the international break in the top four after the victory.

Freiburg broke through ten minutes after half-time when a Yuito Suzuki effort was diverted into his own net by Union captain Rani Khedira, with replays showing Jan-Niklas Beste had last touched the ball. Suzuki then made it 2-0 in the 67th minute, finishing over goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow after Derry Scherhant sent him clear following a high turnover.

According to the report, Freiburg dominated the first half with 74 percent possession and a 10-0 shot count but could not beat Rønnow before the interval. Vincenzo Grifo missed a penalty in the 84th minute, and Rønnow denied substitute Lucas Höler from the resulting corner. The report added that the closing minutes were played in silence while both sets of supporters acknowledged a medical emergency in the stands.

Get German Football News named Suzuki its player of the match with a rating of 9, noting he had not registered on the scoresheet since his sending-off against Schalke on matchday five. Beste received an 8 for an industrious performance that included an assist.
