Schalke – Freiburg 2:0 (end) | Leverkusen – Frankfurt 0:1 (end)
final
Schalke 04
2:0 (1:0)
SC Freiburg
Sunday 15.12.2013, 15:30 • Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen) • Bundesliga
     
    Schalke had more attacks, deserved win and deserved important 3 points for this victory, coming up to the 6th place only 4 points down behind 3rd position Dortmund.
    This match was not the best one. Good speed, not too combinative play, lack of huge chances, only a few ones.
    Freiburg is still in a threatening situation of eliminating from the 1st class (Bundesliga), stayed in 16th place.
    Thanks for attention!
