From being a match-winner to a villain! Life has come very fast for Mario Dorgeles. The SC Braga man has been shown red and that has heightened the worries of the visitors as they will now play a man short against Freiburg for most of the game.

Host striker Johan Manzambi sees his header go wide off the mark thanks to a cross from Philipp Treu.
