Freiburg second best in narrow defeat to Juventus

A meeting with European giants Juventus lay in wait for the arrival of Freiburg in Turin tonight. Christian Streich opted to stick with an unchanged side that faced Gladbach last weekend. Having just overcome tonsilitis, Michael Gregoritsch could only make the bench. Ritsu Doan did similar, while Woo-Yeong Jeong missed to trip to Italy through illness. The strength and quality possessed by the Italian side was clear to see in the end. Allegri’s team dominated large parts of the action to take a 1-0 lead into the second-leg in Breisgau.
