AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- Shots 19-10, on target 7-1
- xG 1.72-0.71, possession 58%-42%
- Manzambi winner in the 90th minute, assisted by Doan
Borussia Mönchengladbach lost 1-2 at home to SC Freiburg in Matchweek 29. Christian Günter's own goal in the 14th minute put the hosts ahead, but Patrick Osterhage levelled two minutes later, and the sides went in at 1-1. There was no further goal until the 90th minute, when substitute Johan Manzambi scored the winner for Freiburg.
Freiburg controlled most of the game's measurable areas. They had 58% of possession to Gladbach's 42%, completed 529 passes at 86% accuracy against 377 at 77%, and won the corner count 6-4. They also had 14 shots inside the box to the home side's six, and finished with 19 attempts overall against Gladbach's 10.
The expected goals figures told the same story: 1.72 for Freiburg and 0.71 for Gladbach. Freiburg put seven of their 19 shots on target, while Gladbach managed just one from 10, with four of their efforts blocked. Tiago Pereira Cardoso made five saves for the hosts; Florian Müller made one at the other end.
The decisive moment came at the death. Manzambi, on from the 76th minute, had two shots and finished a chance created by Ritsu Doan in the 90th minute. Gladbach's early lead came from an own goal rather than a shot on target, and once Freiburg equalised the hosts could not create another clear route to goal.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
