Christian Gunter swept a cross onto the edge of the six-yard box for Vincenzo Grifo, who scooped his shot over Janis Blaswich. But just three minutes later, Leverkusen pulled level with their first effort on target."
"A stunning free-kick from Alex Grimaldo restored parity in the third minute of first-half stoppage time; from just outside the box, his set-piece swerved over the wall and into the roof of the net. Leverkusen took the lead for the first time in the 52nd minute with a brilliant run from Kofane opening it up for Terrier's lovely first-time finish."
"But Freiburg were not out yet as Ginter stooped to thump a header home with four minutes of the 90 remaining. It looked like Freiburg had snatched the three points moments later, but Ginter was offside when turning in the rebound of Maximilian Eggestein's saved shot."
