SC Freiburg vs Borussia Mönchengladbach

Freiburg put on a ruthless display at home, tearing apart Borussia Monchengladbach to move top of the Bundesliga table. The visitors never had an answer, and things got even worse once they were reduced to ten men midway through the second half. Yannik Engelhardt opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, assisted by Derry Scherhant, before Igor Matanovic doubled the lead six minutes later off a Matthias Ginter assist. Gladbach's afternoon unraveled further when Tim Kleindienst was shown a second yellow card in the 52nd minute for a late challenge on Philipp Lienhart. Freiburg pounced on the extra man, with Matanovic (77'), Engelhardt (79') and Maximilian Eggestein (86') completing the rout. The result keeps Freiburg unbeaten through three matchdays and sends a statement about their early-season ambitions. For Monchengladbach, it's a third straight match without a point, leaving Eugen Polanski's side searching for answers at the bottom of the table.
