Freiburg shock Stuttgart 3-0 in German Bundesliga

 BERLIN, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Freiburg cruised to a comfortable 3- 0 win over Stuttgart at the Baden-Wurttemberg derby whilst Leverkusen craved¹ out a 2-1 win at struggling Hoffenheim that dropped to relegation² zone to close the 13th round of Bundesliga on Sunday.

Freiburg astonished Stuttgart 3-0 to conquer sixth position and to remain unbeaten at the fifth match in a row.

Both sides needed some time to implement³ their rhythm and strategy to the match. Home side Freiburg soon controlled the proceedings⁴ on the pitch as Stuttgart's buildup play remained imperfect.

The host dangerously approached Stuttgart's goal with opportunities by Cedrick Makiadi, Daniel Caligiuri, Jonathan Schmid and Julian Schuster.

Sure enough Freiburg were rewarded for their efforts as Jan Rosenthal broke the deadlock⁵ with 22 minutes into the match when he scored from 18 meters into the bottom near corner.

Bruno Labbadia's side remained sloppy⁶ and inattentive so that Freiburg were able to double their lead after the restart.

Pavel Krmas capitalized on a spill by Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich following a free kick cross to slot home into the open goal at the 67th minute.

Finally, Max Kruse made it three on the scoreboards when he used a header by Caliguiri to seal three points on home soil.

"We won against a strong away team, which had, however, three days earlier a though match in the Europa League. But the way how we won this game is a great pleasure for us," Christian⁷ Streich said.

Elsewhere, Leverkusen inflicted⁸ Hoffenheim the seventh loss of the season to compound the worst-ever start into a Bundesliga season.

Lars Bender opened the scoring for Leverkusen until Daniel Carvajal doubled the lead before the break. Hoffenheim's Fabian Johnson was only able to score the 2-1 consolation⁹ for his side.

Augsburg gave away a neat lead as Patrick Herrmann's lob denied the hosts the second win of the season. Sasche Moelder broke the deadlock for Augsburg with five minutes into the match until Herrmann levelled the score five minute before final whistle.
