Goals from Matthias Ginter and Igor Matanovic took Freiburg to a 2-1 home win over struggling Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Former Gladbach defender Ginter scored from a corner before half-time and Matanovic tapped in a rebound midway through the second period, with Haris Tabakovic grabbing a late consolation for the visitors.
The victory takes Freiburg past Eintracht Frankfurt into seventh but the Black Forest club, through to the last 16 of the Europa League, remain six points behind the guaranteed European places.
With just one win in their past 10 games, free-falling Gladbach sit just three points above the relegation play-off spot.
