Freiburg, almost completely upset, first benefited from a penalty converted by veteran Nils Petersen (25th minute). A supposed goal from the locals was not recognized due to an offside position (56th). In addition, the referee withdrew a penalty shortly before. After the change of camp, Kevin Medina saw the red card after a tough tackle against Kevin Schade (62nd). Too bad I couldn’t continue playing afterwards. All three decisions against Qarabağ were made after the video assistant intervened. Nevertheless, the home team still managed to equalise. Owusu equalized in added time (90+1).
In addition to the Breisgauers, already qualified for the round of 16 before the duel, FC Nantes from group G also winters in the Europa League. Since the French Cup winners also won in the side game at Olympiacos Piraeus, Qarabağ fell back to third place. It is not yet clear who the Freiburg team will play against in the next round. The draw will take place on February 24, 2023.
