Freiburg equalised less than five minutes into the second half, and had no intention of giving up at all, and it was clear that they wanted to crush Cologne all at once.
On 55 minutes, Habler broke through from the right and crossed, and Wagner's header was deflected wide by the interference of defenders.
In the 59th minute, a corner kick on the left side, Sunset took a front point, Se Yun gathered back, Philip grabbed a point in the right corner of the small penalty area, and was blocked by goalkeeper Horn with his legs.
In the 67th minute, Schweinsteiger shot from the edge of the penalty area, and defender Sorensen fell to the ground in front of the goal to clear the ball. A corner from Stenzel was then tipped over the post by Wagner.
The fans in Freiburg went from excited to anxious, and then began to be anxious, looking at the backfield with some worry after the siege, with a sense of foreboding.
In the 72nd minute, Freiburg took another corner kick from the right flank, and Cologne goalkeeper Horn punched the ball out of the box with both fists above Wagner's head, and Cologne quickly pressed out.
But outside the box, Sunset, who was supposed to be on the left, suddenly burst out of the middle, took control of the ball before Bitangu, turned and pulled the ball past in one go, and picked the ball up as he turned, then leaned left and volleyed his leg into the left.
The shot from more than 30 meters away was extremely fast, made a big arc, and then kicked the goalkeeper's far post, and Horn, who had just hit the ball and collided with Wagner, was helpless, watching the football plummet and flew into the goal from the bottom of the post.
There is no bad omen! There is no joy in sorrow! Freiburg was reversed by Sunset.
The goal shattered the newly mustered confidence of the Cologne fans, and it also caused them to lose their mental balance, rushing to the side of the stands and attacking Freiburg and Sunset in all kinds of ugly language.
Sunset spreads her hands and runs in celebration with her head shaken, her face covered in mockery like a clown.
This irritated the nerves of the Cologne team even more, and in addition to the fans frantically jumping onto the field, the Cologne players also rushed towards Sunset excitedly, believing that Sunset was provoking them.
The referee rushed over to stop both sides, and while whistling, his hand also reached for his pocket. Schweinsteiger and the other team members also rushed over, and while protecting Sunset, they pushed away Reese, who was the most joyful dancer.
The Cologne players insisted that Sunset had provoked their fans and demanded that the referee show Sunset a yellow or even red card, and Schweinsteiger stood aside and mocked:
"Why did he provoke? Goal or celebration? You'd better listen to what your fans have to say, and the referee will write it into the report, right?..."
The referee and the linesman discussed Sunset's celebratory gestures, and finally decided that the spread of hands and expressions were not provocative at all, but just a quiet request for both sides to restart.
The fans and players in Cologne were emotionally unbalanced, and Yu's celebration may have been a bit mocking, but the replay clearly saw that it was a response to the fans' abuse, and at first it was just his usual way of celebrating with two fingers to the sky. And in itself, this action is not a provocation at all, just a mocking expression, and there is no offensive action. I don't think what Cologne can accept is the reversal..."
Sky Sports commentator Schmitz didn't hesitate to side with Sunset in this clash, and it is not known if there will be any trouble after the broadcast.
"It looks like Sunset's clown expression is really bad, but it's really TM, and if you can't kick it, you can't kick the bad team that turns around..."
"I didn't expect Sunset's small body to be at all intimidating against the stupid big man of the Cologne team, if it weren't for the little pig passing, it looked like he was ready to do it."
"Such a mocking face is really like a clown, and it can be directly used as an expression..."
The barrage broadcast by Xia Mo immediately covered the entire screen because of this unexpected conflict, but Xia Mo couldn't care about the broadcast, so she went to comfort the frightened Xia Qianqian.
After the restart, Freiburg's midfielders reduced the number of balls on Sunset's side to protect Sunset. Even so, the Cologne team members often knocked Sunset down or pulled him down when the referee wasn't looking, and Sunset jumped up to clash. The referee gave Sunset and Sorensen a yellow card, and then kept an eye on the left side as the game fell apart.
Cologne, who couldn't devote himself to the game at all, couldn't change the score in the end and lost the game 2:3.
Whether or not Sunset's post-match celebration was a provocation took center stage, even outshadowing the attention of Freiburg's comeback and the already quiet three-game winning streak. After the controversy ended, people were surprised to find that Freiburg actually ranked first in the Bundesliga.
Of course, this position was only sitting for one day, and the next day, Bayern Munich beat Ingolstadt 3-1 and immediately pushed Freiburg back into second place.
But this result is still just as surprising, if it weren't for Bayern Munich's three consecutive wins and more goals, showing excellent form and strength, maybe the old stalk of Kaiserslautern myth would be discussed again.
Another promoted side, RB Leipzig, also performed well, drawing 2-2 with Hoffenheim in the first game, beating Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in the second and beating Hamburg by four goals away in the third round.
If you compare the quality of the opponent and the performance of the game, RB Leipzig is actually better than Freiburg, at least defensively, keeping two clean sheets in a row. Freiburg, on the other hand, conceded four goals in three rounds and won two of them, full of chance. Therefore, most people believe that the future of Freiburg will not be so smooth, and it will be a matter of time before he steps down from the altar.
However, this does not affect the evaluation of Sunset by the media and commentators. In the third round, he gave Sunset a high score of 1 point, believing that three goals and 1 assist in three rounds did not fully explain Sunset's importance to Freiburg, and that when Sunset was restricted, it was time for Freiburg to go down the altar.
The German transfer market website directly adjusted Sunset's value from 2 million euros to 12 million euros, and said that considering the age and market, the real transfer price will be higher.
The distractions from the outside world didn't affect Sunset, and Streich knew that Sunset's ability would inevitably lead to tighter defense and nailing, and as soon as he returned to Freiburg, he proposed more targeted training, hoping that Sunset's excellent form would last longer.
"Yu, you're too concerned about the distribution of fitness, and your breakthroughs have decreased too much since the beginning of the season, partly because of the tighter defense, and on the other hand, you always want to save your fitness for the second half, right? Do you think the mediocre full-time or the glittering half-time is better? If you do that again, I'm going to keep putting you out in the second half so you don't have to think about it..."
These words immediately captured Sunset's thoughts, and he promised that he would not care too much about his physical fitness, and that he would seize the opportunity to break through without reservation.
In the next practice, the offensive players turned over beautifully, and there were often scenes where Sunset passed in a row and sent nanny-style assists.
