We are approaching the half hour mark. The game is still rather dull for what is expected from both teams in attack. Borussia Dortmund are more likely to attack down the left, while Freiburg are more varied.
Time continues to run out in the match. There is not much to highlight beyond the occasional shot by the visiting team that could have bothered goalkeeper Florian Müller. There was a lack of ideas in the teams to generate important actions.
We passed the first quarter of an hour in the match. Freiburg is trying to generate goal situations looking to force Borussia Dortmund's defense to make a mistake, but so far they are unable to put goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to work.
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT JUNIOR ADAMU MISSED! The striker missed a shot after being set up by Jordy Makengo following a through ball from Patrick Osterhage. The referee also flagged for offside.
Borussia Dortmund came close. Daniel Svensson popped up to head in from the left side of the box following a cross from Waldemar Anton, but the ball fell into the hands of goalkeeper Florian Müller.
First minutes of the match. The match does not offer many important actions so far, the possession of the ball has been rather divided. Not a very attractive start, with few transitions and more attempts at long play.
MATCH STARTS!
MATCH STARTS! The referee has blown his whistle and now, the match between Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund of the 26th round of the Bundesliga is being played at the Europa-Park Stadion. We'll see who gets the three points.

Statements - Nico Kovac (Borussia Dortmund Coach)
"Serhou (Guirassy) is on the mend. We assume he will be available again at the weekend. Niklas Süle and Emre Can have not yet trained, so it remains to be seen. Felix will hopefully be part of the squad at the weekend. Nico and Yan are suspended."
"We want to be very flexible and variable. We have filled out the back three well. Schlotterbeck is a very important piece of our defense. But I'm sure we can make up for it at the weekend."
"We are playing against a direct rival. We really want to win. It's all about consistency and stability. Freiburg are very dangerous from set pieces. They play very intense soccer. We have to face the game with a lot of passion and intensity.
Statements - Julian Schuster (Freiburg coach)
"There is no one at the club who doesn't want to fight for the cause. Quite the contrary. What really gives us confidence is playing good games at home against opponents who have great individual quality. Those are the experiences that stay with the boys. The important thing is that everyone who plays brings energy and gives their all."
"Our performance was better than I thought it would be during the match, but we lost several important 50-50s in midfield and we failed to defend better as a unit in the first goal we conceded. In my opinion, we made it too easy for them, also at the time of the goal. We have to take the blame for that."
