An early save and chances for Freiburg
SC Freiburg won 1–0 at SC Paderborn 07 on September 5, with Eggestein scoring the match’s only goal. Paderborn had an early chance through Pieringer, but Backhaus made the save. At the other end, Noll denied Matanovic repeatedly. The attempts gave both goalkeepers work to do in a match ultimately decided by one first-half goal.
Eggestein scores in the 26th minute
Freiburg broke through in the 26th minute. Scherhant supplied a cross, Engelhardt had an attempt blocked, and Eggestein scored. That sequence put Freiburg ahead after Backhaus had stopped Pieringer’s early effort. Noll’s saves against Matanovic also kept those Freiburg attempts from adding to the score, leaving Eggestein’s goal as the difference between the teams.
Paderborn responds after halftime
Paderborn made a change at halftime, bringing on Tigges. The home side pressed during the second half in search of an equalizer, but Eggestein’s goal continued to separate the teams. Paderborn’s second-half response gave it a chance to change the result; it still needed a goal to draw level as the match moved into its closing minutes.
Backhaus stops the late effort
In the 85th minute, Castaneda tried an acrobatic effort for Paderborn. Backhaus saved it, denying the home side a late equalizer. Freiburg finished with the 1–0 victory, secured by Eggestein’s first-half goal and preserved through Backhaus’s late save.
