A good atmosphere was ensured before the kick-off, with a large concert with music and art performances bringing a celebratory potential to the Sports Club’s new home. Sports highlights should not be too long to come.

Vincenzo Griffo does the magic

The first goal came in the 17th minute at Europa-Park Stadium. Christian Gunder served for Vincenzo Griffo, who hit the right corner of the goal with a fantastic flick from the edge of the box. In Freiburg’s view, the best first goal could not have been. Half an hour later, the Italian national player’s next big appearance followed: Griffo told the guests’ defense to dance and made the game 2-0 (29th).

Floodlight failure after one hour

The SC players provided highlights on the lawn, and suddenly darkness fell in the 65th minute. The floodlights in the stadium left the monster for a while, but it shouldn’t cause a mood drop. On the contrary. The game had to be interrupted for more than a minute, but things on the stands continued to be lively. Fans agreed to the song “I go with my lamp”, which includes “Light turns off, we go home”, Rabimmel, Rabummel, Rabumm.

No one went home, however, the lights were on again and visitors were able to see some of the best views in the square. Including a 3-0 goal by youngster Nishan Burkard, who led the final score. The fact that the ball was out of goal on Maximilian Egstein’s cross was a little interesting that evening.
