"Borussia Dortmund clung on to earn a 1-1 draw with Freiburg at Europa-Park Stadion despite playing with 10 men for almost 45 minutes following Jobe Bellingham's red card. Bellingham was sent off for a professional last-man foul in the 53rd minute with Dortmund 1-0 up, and though they were pegged back by Lucas Holer's stunning goal, Niko Kovac's men navigated a finale featuring seven minutes of stoppage time."
"Dortmund had gone ahead via Ramy Bensebaini's close-range finish from Yan Couto's 31st-minute free-kick, while Carney Chukwuemeka also struck the post for the visitors. Freiburg bossed proceedings after Bellingham's sending off, and they drew level when Holer flicked Christian Gunter's cross into the air, then hit a sensational scissor kick beyond Kobel. The hosts thought they had won it late on through Igor Matanovic, but after a VAR review, Maximilian Eggestein was ruled to be offside inside a busy penalty area."
Borussia Dortmund took the lead through Ramy Bensebaini's close-range finish from Yan Couto's 31st-minute free-kick but were reduced to 10 men when Jobe Bellingham received a straight red for a professional last-man foul after a poor pass from Gregor Kobel. Philipp Treu dispossessed Bellingham before the foul. Freiburg dominated the remainder, finishing with 21 shots to Dortmund's nine and edging the expected goals 1.51 to 0.93. Lucas Holer equalized with a sensational scissor kick. A late Igor Matanovic effort was ruled out after VAR flagged Maximilian Eggestein offside. Dortmund remain nine points adrift of Bayern Munich.
