Michael Gregoritsch scored a goal in the third game in a row in the German Bundesliga. The ÖFB team striker initiated SC Freiburg’s 2-0 home win once morest 1. FC Köln on Sunday with his winning goal in the 72nd minute and also prepared Roland Sallai’s second goal (95th) with a measured cross. At the top of the table, Bayer Leverkusen consolidated first place with a 3-0 win once morest Eintracht Frankfurt and has been confirmed as the “Christmas King” ahead of time.

This time Gregoritsch was in demand as a “joker” and stood out just a few moments following his substitution in the 66th minute. After Röhl’s header was blocked, the attacker made an ice-cold save from close range. He almost managed a brace, but his shot went just over (90′). Gregoritsch now has six competitive goals in the current season, having scored three times in the 5-0 win once morest Olympiakos Piraeus in the Europa League. The 29-year-old Styrian recently scored the only goal in the 1-0 wins once morest 1. FSV Mainz 05 and VfL Wolfsburg.

“I think I generally didn’t have that bad of chances during the season. At the beginning of the season I missed them, then the injury came along, then I chased a goal. Since I scored in the Europa League, things have been going well “I always meet there. That’s very important for me,” said Gregoritsch in the DAZN interview. After the 2-0 defeat at West Ham United on Thursday in the Europa League and the return trip, he was “very broken”. This is also why the striker was missing from the starting line-up. Junior Adamu came on as a substitute at the finish, Philipp Lienhart was missing due to an injury.

After their third win in a row, Freiburg is sixth with 24 points. Cologne, where Dejan Ljubicic and Florian Kainz played until the 61st minute and Julian Chabot saw the traffic lights in the 62nd minute, is 16th in the relegation zone with ten points. The game was interrupted for five minutes in the first half because fans threw numerous chocolate coins onto the field to protest once morest the investment of investors in the German Football League (DFL).

Leverkusen continued their impressive autumn run with their 12th win in their 15th game. There has been no defeat so far. Victor Boniface (14th), Jeremie Frimpong (51st) and Florian Wirtz (57th) ensured clear conditions. As a result, coach Xabi Alonso’s team initially moved seven points clear of rivals Bayern Munich, who have played two fewer games and are still playing once morest VfB Stuttgart in the evening game. Frankfurt is eighth.
