Matthias Ginter scored against his former club Borussia Mönchengladbach to help his current team Freiburg claim a 2-1 win in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Ginter didn't celebrate after he broke the deadlock in the 38th, volleying it home after Gladbach's Kevin Diks inadvertently flicked a long throw to him.
They almost doubled their lead in the 63rd, as Niklas Beste was free at the back post after another throw-in. But he was denied from point-blank by goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas.
Goal number two, however, came in the 74th, after Gladbach lost the ball in midfield. Maximilian Eggestein's low cross was palmed by Nicolas into the path of Igor Matanovic, who tapped the ball into the empty net.
Gladbach had a goal ruled out in the 83rd and still pulled one back two minutes later through Haris Tabarovic, but despite late pressure couldn't find an equalizer.
"The defeat really hurts. In the closing stages, we tried everything to force an equalizer – and we did that pretty well. But overall it wasn’t enough," Tabarovic said.
Freiburg are seventh, six points from the European spots, while Gladbach are 14th, just two points from the relegation zone.
Goalkeeper blunder helps St Pauli beat Bremen
In the second Sunday game, St Pauli Hamburg prevailed 2-1 against Werder Bremen as both teams battle against relegation.
Hauke Wahl's header slipped through the hands of keeper Backhaus and rolled into the net to give St Pauli the lead in the 55th.
Substitute Jovan Milosevic needed only two minutes on the pitch to hit back for Bremen in the 62nd, but Joel Chima Fujita scored his first goal for St Pauli to secure the win.
St Pauli are the first team in the relegation zone on 20 points, with Bremen one point behind.
VfB Stuttgart visit bottom side Heidenheim in the late game.
On Saturday, Bayern Munich extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table with a 3-2 win against Eintracht Frankfurt and thanks to Borussia Dortmund's 2-2 draw with RB Leipzig.
Bayern now have an eight-point advantage over Dortmund ahead of their clash next weekend.
