Freiburg (dpa) – With a lot of effort, SC Freiburg won its unusual away game in the venerable Dreisamstadion and thus reached the second round of the DFB Cup. The Bundesliga soccer team beat fifth division team SV Oberachern, which had been surprisingly strong for a long time, 2-0 (0-0) in the Baden derby on Sunday. Christian Günter (60th minute) and Roland Sallai (77th) scored for Freiburg in front of 24,500 spectators. The game was not played in Oberachern, but in the Dreisamstadion, the former home of the sports club.

They would not stand in the back, the people from Oberachern had announced – and they kept their word. The outsider played well in the first half and was even closer to the lead than the Europa League participants. Marvin Ludwig was the focus of attention twice: First, a header hit by the defender was disallowed for being offside (14′), then he hammered a free kick into the left post (27′). A murmur went through the stadium, with the SVO fans the hope of the possible sensation growing noticeably.

Nico Huber, the only goal scorer for SVO in the 9-1 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the first round of the previous season, shot over the goal from distance (37′). The cheeky attempt to lob the Freiburg keeper Noah Atubolu, who was far outside, was symbolic of the performance of the premier league. Goalkeeper Mark-Patrick Redl thwarted SC’s best chance against the conspicuous Sallai (40′). During the break, the Oberacherners were loudly cheered by their supporters.

After the change of sides, however, Freiburg increased the number of strokes – and were redeemed by their substitute captain. Günter, who broke his right arm in preparation for the season and therefore played with a splint, threw the ball into the bottom right corner from around 20 meters. The goal had an effect, and the favorites then had the game completely under control. Several attempts by the SC from afar failed, then Sallai made the decision with a well-placed low shot.

Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – It is an away game of the unusual kind for SC Freiburg. The Baden Bundesliga soccer club will play in the first DFB Cup round on Sunday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) against the Oberliga club SV Oberachern. However, the game will not be played on the sports field at Waldsee, but in Freiburg’s Dreisamstadion. For decades, the arena was the home of the sports club, and now coach Christian Streich and his protégés are arriving as guests.

Fifth division team Oberachern was already in the cup last season. At that time there was a 1:9 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the first round. This time the outsider wants to keep the result a little closer.

Freiburg (dpa) – The search of the Bundesliga soccer club SC Freiburg for a suitable, additional offensive player continues to be difficult. “We don’t do any crazy things, absolutely not,” said coach Christian Streich before the first competitive game of the new season in the DFB Cup against the Baden Oberliga club SV Oberachern on Sunday (3:30 p.m. / Sky). “We have opportunities and if we’re convinced, then we’ll do something.”

After the end of Nils Petersen’s career and Woo-yeong Jeong’s move to VfB Stuttgart, Streich still lacks alternatives at the top. Especially since the newcomer Junior Adamu, signed from Salzburg, has not yet been able to train with the team due to an injury. “It hurts because we haven’t seen him on the pitch yet,” said Streich. “He’s a really nice guy and likes to laugh – that’s good for us.” Improvement is gradually in sight, according to the coach.

“Let’s see if anything else happens. Maybe one or two more players will be added. If not, then we’ll start the season like this,” said Streich, who says about the problems with the search: “There are limits. And We don’t cross certain limits because it would be too dangerous and too risky. We stay true to ourselves.”

Freiburg (dpa/lsw) – Oberliga football club SV Oberachern is looking forward to the Baden duel with SC Freiburg in the first round of the DFB Cup. “It’s definitely the most special of all cup games,” said sporting director Mark Lerandy before the game against the Bundesliga club on Sunday (3:30 p.m. / Sky) of the German Press Agency. “SC is the top club in the region. In addition, some of our lads have a Freiburg past. It’s full circle for me, too.”

Lerandy once played under the current professional coach of Freiburg, Christian Streich, in the youth of the SC. “We’ve seen each other a few times since then. He remembers the guys he used to coach. I appreciate that about him,” said the 41-year-old. Oberachern’s captain Nicola Leberer also played for the sports club’s second team.

The fifth division team was in the DFB Cup last season and lost 9-1 to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the first round. As in the past, the game will be played this year in Freiburg’s Dreisam Stadium, which was the SC’s home for decades. “In terms of how we’re dealing with all the hustle and media around it, we’re definitely a step further than we were a year ago,” said Lerandy.

“But Freiburg is another house number. The stadium will be completely full this time. In addition, the SC has been playing extremely consistently for the past two years,” said the SVO sports director. Nevertheless, his team wanted to have fun and “keep things exciting for as long as possible,” said Lerandy. “We won’t sell our values ​​and we won’t put ourselves behind. We want to attack here and there.”
