Freiburg made a stunning start to the Bundesliga season with a dominant 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen in front of a packed Europa-Park Stadium. Julian Schuster's men were in irresistible form, dismantling the visitors with a ruthless attacking display. The hosts took control early, with Yuito Suzuki opening the scoring on 29 minutes after a precise cross from Jan-Niklas Beste. Just before the break, Igor Matanovic doubled the lead with a powerful header from Matthias Ginter's corner delivery. The second half was a one-sided affair. Suzuki completed his hat-trick with two clinical finishes, first on 48 minutes after a solo run through the centre, and then on 55 minutes as he tapped in Matanovic's cross. Dariusz Stalmach pulled one back for Bremen on 76 minutes from Marco Grüll's pass, but it was a mere consolation. Referee Daniel Siebert booked Ludovit Reis on 48 minutes and Keisuke Goto on 88 minutes. The statistics highlight Freiburg's dominance: 16 shots with 8 on target and 57% possession, compared to Bremen's 9 attempts. Yuito Suzuki was named man of the match with his hat-trick and an assist. With three points from their opening game, Freiburg sit top of the table, while Werder are bottom. Can Freiburg maintain this form against Borussia Dortmund next week?
