Arminia Bielefeld edged a cagey encounter with Freiburg on Friday night to move out of the relegation zone, with Baptiste Santamaria's own goal handing the promoted side their first home win since January.
Goals: 1-0Santamaria (o.g. 68')
Freiburg made a lively start at the SchücoArena, with Santamaria driving to the byline after a cheeky backheel from Wooyeong Jeong, but the Frenchman couldn't quite steer his cross into the danger zone. Bielefeld's newly crowned Rookie of the Month Ritsu Doan tried his luck with an audacious lob from distance, looping his attempt over the bar, before teammate Andreas Voglsammer glanced a header just wide. Voglsammer then had the game's first shot on target, but his close-range effort was straight at Freiburg keeper Florian Müller. Santamaria continued to make a nuisance of himself as he sent in a fine low ball for Roland Sallai, but the Hungarian dragged Freiburg's best chance of the opening period wide of the far post. The visitors had more of the ball in a first half that had plenty of midfield battling but few genuine chances, with Sallai seeing another shot blocked as the sides went in all square at the break.

Augsburg collected their second away win of the season with Jeffrey Gouweleeuw on target in the final minutes against promoted Arminia Bielefeld.
Goals: 0-1 Gouweleeuw (85')
Bielefeld and Augsburg were meeting for the first time in the German top-flight and the two sides had managed just one first-half goal between them so far this season. So, it was no surprise that the scores remained level after an even first 45. Marco Richter's early blocked shot was a tester for the home team's defence with Augsburg providing early pressure, but Bielefeld responded well. Ritsu Doan has been their main source of creativity in attack and it was his mazy run and pass to Sven Schipplock which led to the hosts' first shot on goal - blocked by the Augsburg defence. Doan curled a shot wide himself on the half-hour mark as Bielefeld grew into the game. The away side switched to a three-man backline for the first time this season, and it helped them stay strong at the back with Rafal Gikiewicz forced to make just one save. Richter almost provided the opener just before the break, but his shot was deflected behind.
