SC Freiburg set the tone for Saturday’s Bundesliga action with a record start: three wins from three matches, the first time the club has won each of its opening three fixtures in a season. After Borussia Mönchengladbach suffered a brutal 0-5 thrashing in Breisgau, attention turned to Freiburg’s momentum and sharp attack. Across six competitive matches this season, 11 different players have already scored. Matthias Ginter also made history. According to Opta, he is the first center-back since records began to register three assists in the opening three matchdays of a Bundesliga season. After the emphatic victory, Freiburg fans sent the team off with a standing ovation.
