FREIBURG, Germany (AP) — Vincenzo Grifo scored an early goal and assisted on the second as Freiburg beat Augsburg 2-0 on Sunday to end a winless streak in the Bundesliga.
Freiburg, fifth last season, began the current campaign with victories once morest Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen. But they then lost to Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund before drawing once morest Eintracht Frankfurt.
Grifo opened the scoring once morest Augsburg from the penalty spot following five minutes following a foul by Brazilian defender Iago on Rolland Sallai.
Phillip Tietz had a great chance to equalize shortly following, but otherwise there were few opportunities for either team.
There was a brief pause at the start of the second half due to the pyrotechnics displayed from where the Augsburg fans were, something that arguably affected his team more when a Ruben Vargas free kick from a promising position was delayed.
Grifo sent the corner kick headed by Philipp Lienhart to the near post to make it 2-0 in the 56th minute.
Earlier, newly promoted Darmstadt beat Werder Bremen 4-2 for their first win since returning to the top flight.
