BERLIN (AP) --- Matthias Ginter and Igor Matanovic scored as Freiburg beat
Borussia Mnchengladbach 2-1 and moved to seventh in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Ginter struck in the 38th minute when he flung himself at the ball after a long
throw in to acrobatically steer it in despite the attention of Gladbach
defender Joe Scally. Ginter, who previously spent five seasons at Gladbach,
restrained his celebrations.
Matanovic had no such reticence after scoring Freiburg's second goal in the
74th when he had a simple tap in after Moritz Nicolas' save from Maximilian
Eggestein's cross.
Haris Tabakovic pulled one back late for Gladbach, just a minute after having
another goal ruled out for offside.
Freiburg stretched its winning streak at home to five games across all
competitions, while Gladbach's winless run stretched to seven matches.
Stuttgart hopes to consolidate fourth place for Champions League qualification
with a win at last-place Heidenheim later Sunday, and Werder Bremen visits St.
Pauli in a relegation duel.
