Boring draw: Freiburg and Gladbach are drawn up below
On Sunday, October 5, 2025, SC Freiburg met Borussia Park on Borussia Mönchengladbach. In front of 44,709 spectators, the game ended without goals and was perceived as uninspired and boring by many. Both teams had only a few chances to score, which disappointed the audience. After an intensive European League game in Bologna, Freiburg also worked out and could not build on the usual performance. In the last few minutes, a controversial scene in the penalty area caused heated discussions when referee Daniel Schlager did not punish a hard start from Jens Castrop.
"How can you not give a penalty at such a foul?" Asked Joachim Llambi, juror of the popular TV show "Let's Dance", who expressed his criticism of the game and the referee decision on Instagram. Freiburg's coach Julian Schuster also did not take a leaf out of her mouth and expressed a lack of understanding of the undisclosed penalty chance. Llambi took the opportunity to make some self -promotion for his show and sharply assessed the game as "boring".
Game course and decisions
In the course of the game, the first half was quite uneventful, and hardly anything happened offensive. The best chances remained unused, such as the attempt by Johan Manzambi, who missed the housing in the 86th minute. The pressure was also rather low in added time; Freiburg came to a corner kick, but both referees and players left the apparently decisive moment of the game. Overall, the fans saw a game that hardly had swings and did not meet the current Bundesliga form.
This lack of excitement is not in line with the innovations that the Bundesliga introduces this season. From now on, referees will explain their decisions in the stadium in real time about speakers in more detail for all listeners. This system is based on a positive pilot project that has already been tested in nine stadiums. The introduction of new technologies for the speed -dependent analysis and the use of the REFCAM should also ensure more clarity on the field.
A look into the future
How to continue for SC Freiburg? After the international break, the duel against Eintracht Frankfurt is pending on October 19, 2025. Just four days later, you have the chance to prove yourself again in the Europa League when you meet Utrecht. In the meantime, it remains to be seen how the discussions about the game against Gladbach will develop and whether Freiburg can recover from the current criticism.
It remains to be seen whether the team goes into the next game with fresh wind from the international break. But one thing is certain: the next challenges are just around the corner and the competition is not sleeping.
