Freiburg beats Wolfsburg to boost chances of qualifying for Champions League

The Hindu  

With a slice of luck and a goal from a retiring fan favorite, Freiburg beat Wolfsburg 2-0 in the Bundesliga on Friday to stay in contention to qualify for the Champions League for the first time. Playing his last home game before retiring at the end of the season, striker Nils Petersen came off the bench to score in the 75th minute to take the game away from Wolfsburg — his first goal of the season — after Christian Günter gave Freiburg the lead with a fortunate deflected shot that looped over the goalkeeper. Freiburg stayed fifth, outside the four Champions League spots, despite the win but it ensured the team from the Black Forest in southwestern Germany will have a chance of qualifying for Europe’s top competition on the final day of the Bundesliga next week. Freiburg was a point off third-placed Leipzig, which can secure a Champions League spot if it stuns leader Bayern Munich on Saturday, and level on points with Union Berlin, which plays Hoffenheim on Saturday.
