Freiburg thrashed Gladbach 6-0 at home, with all six goals coming in a stunning first half. Gladbach finished the game in 13th place in the Bundesliga, with only 18 points from 14 games, and head coach Hutter stated afterward that the effort and outcome were unsatisfactory. Freiburg's opening 37 minutes saw six different scores as the team ended a three-game losing streak in style, moving back up to the fourth place. Maximilian Eggestein (2nd minute), Kevin Schade (5th minute), Philipp Lienhardt (13th minute), Nicolas Höfler (19th minute), Lucas Höler (25th minute), and Nico Schlotterbeck (37th) were the scorers.
This was the first instance when a side scored five goals in the first 25 minutes since Gladbach thrashed Eintracht Braunschweig 10-0 in 1984. It had never been done before by a team away from home.
