Stuttgart 0-1 Freiburg Live Score, DFB-Pokal Semi-Final: Eggestein Puts Breisgau-Brasilianer Ahead In German Cup Clash

Deniz Undav denied at the goalmouth! Igor Matanovic defends resolutely, blocking the Stuttgart forward's powerful shot by sticking his right foot out. The referee blows the whistle after three-odd additional minutes, and Maximilian Eggestein's 28th-minute strike separates the teams at half-time.

Stuttgart are fervently trying to equalise. Ermedin Demirovic misses out from the centre of the box after being assisted by Deniz Undav. Two minutes later, Jamie Leweling aims at the far post from his left foot but narrowly misses. Two minutes added to the first half, meanwhile.

Freiburg take the lead! Matthias Ginter heads in a corner towards the goalmouth where Maximilian Eggestein gets the lightest of touches with his left foot, enough to beat the keeper and peg back the hosts.

There have been four yellow cards already in this scrappy encounter, which is more than the number of shots on goal (three). Pretty much sums up the state of play so far.

Stuttgart are the aggressors in the initial exchanges, striving to create openings and go for goal via long balls. In the seventh minute, Ermedin Demirovic frees Deniz Undav, who takes a crack at goal from outside the box but shoots over the crossbar.

The match is underway at the MHPArena. Stuttgart kicking from left to right and Freiburg the other way in the first half. Both teams trying to find their feet early doors, with a heated atmosphere in the backdrop.
