Bundesliga: Gregoritsch brace helps Freiburg climb to third; Leverkusen continues unbeaten run

The Hindu  

A first-half brace from Michael Gregoritsch lifted Freiburg up to third in the Bundesliga after a 4-0 victory at home against struggling Schalke on Sunday. Freiburg leapfrogged Union Berlin and RB Leipzig in its pursuit of a first Champions League appearance. Doan was again the creative force early in the second half for Freiburg’s third, pushing past several defenders to find Gregoritsch in the box. Union Berlin can leapfrog Freiburg into fourth later when it visits Borussia Moenchengladbach, keeping its unlikely bid for a first Champions League appearance alive.
