The Bundesliga clash between Freiburg and Augsburg took place in the Europa-Park Stadion on 28 January 2023 where the home team showcased an impressive victory of 3-1 over Augsburg.

Freiburg dominated the game's initial phase with Michael Gregoritsch netting the first goal with a precise assist from Yannik Keitel only 13 minutes and 19 seconds into the game. However, Mergim Berisha of Augsburg equalised this with a penalty kick at 28 minutes and 24 seconds. The tie didn't last long as Lucas Holer scored again for the home team with an assist from Ritsu Doan just a minute later. In the second half, Philipp Lienhart further extended the lead for Freiburg to 3-1 assisted by Vincenzo Grifo, putting the game to bed at the 84th minute.

Moving to the statistical factors, Freiburg’s superiority in efficiency is evident from the fact that they managed to score three times from their nine shots on target, indicating about a 33% conversion rate. In contrast, Augsburg, despite having a decent number of attempts with 16 shots overall, managed to convert only one of their 4 shots on target into a goal, suggestive of a lack of clinical finishing.

Another important parameter that had a significant impact on the game was the number of fouls. Freiburg, with 12 fouls, and Augsburg with 9 fouls, had three yellow cards each. In particular, Philipp Lienhart's yellow card in the first half did not hinder his performance, as he still managed to score in the second half. The home team's disciplined and physical approach seemed to disrupt Augsburg's attack, leading to Augsburg creating fewer chances.

Despite Augsburg executing more corner kicks (7), they were unable to convert any into goals, hinting at Freiburg's impressive defensive organization. The home team effectively used their three corners, posing a constant threat to Augsburg’s defensive line-up.

Lastly, Freiburg’s more effective pressing strategy is evident from the only offside committed by them, which indeed indicates an organized high-defensive line.

In summary, the key dynamics that led to Freiburg’s victory were their goal conversion efficiency, exceptional assistance, and disciplined as well as physical approach in defense. Augsburg, on the other hand, will need to evolve their execution in converting the chances into goals, especially from the set pieces like corner kicks.
