A 3-2 victory at Bayer Leverkusen made it four wins in five games for Freiburg. Their best ever start to a Bundesliga season, propelling them to the very top of the table for good measure. Having sealed qualification for the UEFA Europa League last time out, Christian Streich’s troops are continuing impressively onwards and upwards with hometown defensive star Matthias Ginter now also restored to the ranks. The Germany international has two goals to his name already, the latest, at Leverkusen, teed up by creator-in-chief Vincenzo Grifo. The Black Forest brigade are on the march again.
