Freiburg's Michael Gregoritsch Basks in Glory After 2-0 Win Against Köln

With a delightful smirk, Michael Gregoritsch, Freiburg's goal-scoring sensation, accepted his teammates' congratulations following their 2-0 triumph over 1. FC Köln. In this electrifying encounter at the Europa Park stadium, the 29-year-old striker delivered a powerful performance, netting the crucial 1-0 and setting up the 2-0.

"Ever since I found the back of the net in the Europa League, everything's been going swimmingly. It's a wonderful feeling to be in the right place at the right time a few times now. Of course, it's vital for me," Gregoritsch shared on the streaming service DAZN.

Thanks to Gregoritsch's efforts, Freiburg, under the leadership of coach Christian Streich, secured their hat-trick of Bundesliga victories in a row, in front of 34,700 passionate supporters - and for the third time in a row, Gregoritsch proved to be the difference-maker.

While Freiburg stood tall with an unbeaten streak of four matches, Köln struggled throughout the game. Their offensive woes continued, bringing their season total to just ten goals in a staggering fifteen matches. Köln also suffered a blow with Jeff Chabot getting booked after approximately an hour into the game.

Freiburg's dominance persisted, and with Chabot's departure and the entrance of strikers Gregoritsch and Roland Sallai, they capitalized on Köln's weaknesses. Gregoritsch profited from the lack of attention paid to Köln's keeper, Marvin Schwäbe, after the Goalkeeper passed the ball aimlessly to his defenders.

The second half bore little fruit for Davie Selke and his attacking comrades in Köln, whose current situation in the Bundesliga is challenging. Earlier, club legend Lukas Podolski expressed his concerns on Sport1, stating that Köln may face stern consequences if they lost both of their upcoming away matches.
