Freiburg climbed to third place in the Bundesliga with a 2-0 victory over Union Berlin on Sunday, thanks in part to a goal from Japanese midfielder Yuito Suzuki.
The win at the Europa-Park Stadion lifted Freiburg above several rivals in the table, while in the day's other highlight, Bayer Leverkusen secured a derby victory over local rivals Cologne.
Suzuki's strike contributed to a comfortable home win for Freiburg, who dominated proceedings against a Union side that has struggled for consistency this season.
Leverkusen's triumph in the Rhine derby added further intrigue to the top of the table, though the scoreline was not disclosed in the initial agency report.
