Match Report

SC Freiburg produced a commanding home performance to defeat RB Leipzig 4–1 in the final Bundesliga matchday, despite the visitors dominating possession with 59% of the ball. The scoring burst came in a remarkable nine-minute spell, with Jan-Niklas Beste opening the account in the 24th minute before Igor Matanović doubled the lead two minutes later. Leipzig pulled one back through Assan Ouédraogo in the 33rd minute to make it 2–1 at the break.

Freiburg restored their two-goal cushion almost immediately after the restart, with Matthias Ginter converting in the 47th minute. Our pre-match AI model had rated an RB Leipzig victory as the most likely outcome at 52%, a call that proved well wide of the mark. A flurry of substitutions from both sides followed, and Derry Scherhant added a fourth for Freiburg in the 75th minute to put the result beyond doubt.

The scoreline was somewhat flattering to Freiburg given the underlying numbers — Leipzig actually edged them on shots on goal six to five and posted a slightly lower expected goals figure of 1.24 against Freiburg's 1.41 — but the hosts were ruthlessly clinical on the day.
