Frankfurt beats Freiburg to secure a Champions League spot, which will compete in the UEFA Cup

On the evening of May 17, Frankfurt beat his UEFA Champions League 3-1 away match and directly competed with Freiburg, successfully locking a seat in the Champions League next season, while Freiburg, who lost, could only participate in the UEFA Champions League. When news of Dortmund's early lead and opponent Kiel was sent off, the tension in the showdown suddenly escalated - if Dortmund wins, one of the two teams will miss the top four; if the draw is made in this game, Freiburg will fall to the European League.

In view of the interests, it is reasonable that the first half of the hour of the game seemed extra cautious. But the battle was ignited in the 30th minute: the home team Freiburg's first record was ironic - they deliberately moved the billboard to the sideline before the game to limit Frankfurt's out-of-bounds tactics, but they conceded the goal. The central defender combination Leonhart threw a powerful ball out of the boundary ball, Gentle headed the ball, and Don Anlu at the far end scored a volley.

Lay behind Frankfurt was forced to strengthen the offensive, and Ekitic forced the opponent's goalkeeper Artubolu to make a wonderful save twice. But Freiburg failed to maintain his advantage until halftime - in stoppage time, Kenauf's heel pass caused Leinhardt to clear the ball and then scored a goal in the distance.

Frankfurt was completely in control of the situation: in the 61st minute, Christensen shot from a long time and bounced into the net; in just a few minutes, Schilli's shot rebounded from the post, and the ball hit Manzby and refracted into the net. The 0-3 disadvantage made Freiburg, who had been in the top four in the previous few weeks, completely lost hope of overtaking. In the end, Frankfurt won the top three in the Bundesliga for the first time since the 1992/93 season, and Christensen, the best in the game, used the winning long shot to qualify for the team for the Champions League.
