Freiburg squandered the chance to return to the top of the Bundesliga after going down 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen this afternoon.

The Black Forest club took the lead at the BayArena through Derry Scherhant’s 14th-minute goal only for Ibrahim Maza to equalise five minutes later.

Czechia international Patrik Schick grabbed the winner with 14 minutes to go, converting Maza’s cross. Schick has now scored in each of Leverkusen’s first six games of the league season, matching the record of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (2015-16 for Borussia Dortmund) and Robert Lewandowski (2019-20 for Bayern Munich).

Borussia Monchengladbach’s miserable start continued as they remained without a point after losing 2-1 at home to Hoffenheim.
