Borussia Mönchengladbach and SC Freiburg played to a scoreless draw at Borussia-Park on Matchday 6 of the Bundesliga.
The opening exchanges saw both teams adopt a measured approach to their attacking play, though Gladbach demonstrated a slightly more assertive tempo. Goalkeeper Moritz Atubolu was called into action on multiple occasions to deny Freiburg’s Engelhardt, first from a header in the 15th minute and again shortly after in the 29th. A further save from Sanders’ long-range effort in the 31st minute further highlighted the defensive solidity.
The second half witnessed Freiburg increasing their attacking presence, with Beste narrowly missing a headed opportunity in the 56th minute. A cross from Beste, deflected towards substitute Manzambi, resulted in a chance from close range in the 66th minute, but the attacker fired over the goal.
Ultimately, neither side managed to find the decisive precision needed to break the deadlock, despite Gladbach appearing marginally more proactive throughout the match. Freiburg’s best opportunity arrived in the 83rd minute when Nicolas deflected Scherhant’s free kick onto the crossbar.
The result sees Gladbach climb above Heidenheim into 17th position, while Freiburg remain in eighth place.
