JAKARTA - In the match between two teams that had just been successful in the European football scene, SC Freiburg was unable to hold RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena Stadium on Sunday night, November 12.

A match that ended in the 1-1 to the 79th minute was broken when substitute RB, Christoph Baumgartner, executed the penalty. Baumgartner then scored from an open game shortly after, thus making a 3-1 win for RB Leipzig.

Although Breisgauer Christian Streich's side were able to compete with RB who were superior for a while, they weakened towards the end of the game and conceded two goals in stoppage time. Leipzig managed to return to winning ways after a surprise defeat to FSV Mainz 05 in the league last week.

Germany's Red Bulls also rose above Dortmund, after the club lost, to rank third in the League standings. Freiburg remains eighth with about a third of the season over.

The two coaches, which were quite surprising, did not make much change to the squad that was successful in European midweek matches. RB coach Marco Rose made just one change to starting XI who won their way to Belgrade. Lukas Klostermann replaces Benjamin Henrichs in the back.

Klostermann replaces Mohamed Simikan's place in the middle defense while Siiman moves out to take on the role of right-back Henrich. Meanwhile, Streich entrusted XI with exactly the same 5-0 victory in the Europa League last Thursday.

Leipzig quickly replied by scoring a 1-0 goal in the 6th minute after a strong opening phase. Xavi Simons who was in good form picked up the midfielder from Nicolas H\"ofler and scored an incredible goal from a distance of 20 meters.

The home team continued to press to double the lead. Several times during the first 45 minutes, Freiburg was only able to maintain the score thanks to a sharp save from young goalkeeper Noah Atubulu. Lo technical Openda, Xavi, and Xaver Schlager all recorded a good effort.

However, towards the end of the first half, SCF's torn-off defense and several games approaching the goal from Leipzig provided an opportunity for Breisgauer to return to the game. The hero of Thursday's match, milik Rohl, scored again six minutes after first-half injury time.

The young German U21 international released a stunning solo-run, past Siemakan, Klostermann, and Amadau Haidara before scoring a 1-1 goal. R\"ohl started a series of events with a brilliant tackle slide against Benjamin Sesko.

The two teams neutralized each other during the start of the second half. The substitution of the ball in midfield and the error involved the game. Freiburg looked a little better, where R\"ohl continued to give an impression and a goal of Noah Wei Badhiupt which was ruled out for offside.

However, Leipzig, who scored his next goal after Vincenzo Grifo, was deemed to have fouled Christoph Baumgartner in the penalty box. He also converted a 2-1 goal from the spot in the 79th minute.

Shortly after, the German Red Bulls managed to add one more goal from an open game. Xavi counterattacked 3 against 2 and provided a pass to Baumgartner on the right. The Austrian scored a 3-1 goal just two minutes after pulling the penalty.

Streich remained excited on the sidelines until the end of the match, trying to push his team forward. However, Rose's careful ball management ensured that the game ended calmly.
