Berlin, Nov. 13 (BUS): The last Bundesliga match long before the World Cup hiatus brought a lot of drama as Vincenzo Griveaux scored a hat-trick in the first 20 minutes to lead Freiburg to a 4-1 win over Union Berlin and so on. Second place on Sunday.
Bayern Munich have entered a two-month break by far, the longest in the major European leagues with a four-point lead over Freiburg. Al-Ittihad occupies fifth place and has not achieved any victory in three matches after leading the league in recent weeks.
The video review has played a major role in a battle between two teams that have emerged as surprise contenders at the top of the table this season, but have recently lost momentum amidst crowded Europa League schedules.
There were two penalties for each team and a red card for the Federation that ended any hope of a comeback, according to the Associated Press. Griveaux needed just four minutes to give Freiburg the lead with a penalty kick after a handball by Union player Christopher Tremmel.
Three minutes later the score was 2-0 as Grifo played one double match with Michael Gregoric on the counter-attack before scoring. Al Ittihad got a penalty, but Robin Knoshi hit the post. Freiburg’s third goal ended the match as Union defender Diogo Light was sent off with another penalty for dropping Ritsu Doan as the last defender, allowing Griveaux to complete a hat-trick.
Gregorich added Freiburg’s fourth goal shortly before the end of the first half and Sven Michel scored a late penalty kick for Union.
