Borussia Dortmund came with great ambitions.
At SC Freiburg, BVB wanted to "start a series of victories in order to still achieve our goals for the season," said Sebastian Kehl, head of the professional department.
The project went completely wrong.
With a 1: 2 (0: 0) Dortmund slides even deeper into the crisis and has to fear for the economically important qualification for the international competitions.
Freiburg's Christian Streich, on the other hand, scored the first victory against BVB in his almost 10-year career as a head coach.
For Dortmund coach Edin Terzic it is already the fourth defeat in the ninth game.
The Breisgauer initially pushed the guests on the defensive with great aggressiveness.
BVB still had the 120 minutes in their bones from the 3-2 cup win against Paderborn on Tuesday.
The first exclamation mark was set by Dortmund spotty.
Emre Can hit the crossbar from 25 meters (5th minute).
Shortly afterwards, Erling Haaland met only SC keeper Florian Müller after a cross - from close range.
As the game progressed, the SC waited compactly in their own half for counter chances.
Until the break, a long-range shot by Dortmund's Brandt (39th) was the only exciting thing.
Accordingly, Hans-Joachim Watzke looked grumpy in the stands.

The BVB boss's mood was completely in the basement for ten minutes: First Woo-Yeong Jeong met from 20 meters (49th), then Jonathan Schmid from the corner of the penalty area (52nd).
Both hits did not seem untenable for goalkeeper Marvin Hitz, representative of the injured Roman Bürki.
Dortmund brought Youssoufa Moukoko, and the 16-year-old made it 1: 2 (76th) shortly afterwards.
Should Dortmund fail to qualify for the international competitions, part of the table silver may have to be sold due to a lack of future income.
According to the "Daily Mirror", there is already a potent prospect for the storm jewel Haaland in Manchester City.
The club of coach Pep Guradiola is supposed to lure the Norwegian with the 100 million euro market value with an annual wage of 24 million.
Bayer Leverkusen - VfB Stuttgart 5: 2 (2: 0)
After half an hour Bayer Leverkusen had already scored as many goals with two goals as the team had managed together in the previous four league games.
In the duel between the cup losers and VfB Stuttgart, the Werkself won 5-2 (2-0) and showed from the start what coach Peter Bosz had asked for: a reaction to the downward trend after a strong start to the season.
Just one win from the last four league games and most recently the embarrassing cup-out at fourth division Rot-Weiss Essen had caused unrest.
"That was the low point," said Bosz before the game.

Leon Bailey almost put the hosts in the lead in the second minute.
Kerem Demirbay finally succeeded in the 18th minute and celebrated his first Bundesliga double for Leverkusen (31st) a little later.
Stuttgart, after all the second best away team in the league, came out of the break strengthened.
After Sasa Kalajdziz's (50th) goal, Leverkusen followed suit through Bailey (56th) and Florian Wirtz (68th).
Kalajdzic (77) met again later.
Gray scored the fifth Leverkusen goal (84th).
Schalke 04 - RB Leipzig 0: 3 (0: 1)
They haven't given up yet, but it's getting harder and harder for Schalke 04 to get away from the bottom of the table.
Against Bayern pursuers RB Leipzig, the team conceded the 14th defeat of the season with the 0: 3 (0: 1).
At Schalke, Mustafi, who came from Arsenal at the beginning of the week and was then in corona quarantine, made his debut in the starting XI.
The world champion had trained in isolation from the team and replaced Kabak (on loan to Liverpool) in the central defense.
With Mustafi, Schalke first tried to keep RB away from goal.
That worked well at first.
The guests had 8-0 shots on goal after 33 minutes, but it only became dangerous just before the break.
Mukiele then scored 1-0 in the 45th minute - a good conclusion that is still pending when looking for an alternative location for the Champions League home game against Liverpool, who are not allowed to travel to Germany.
Budapest, it is said, should be an alternative.

17 minutes before the final whistle, Sabitzer made the preliminary decision.
He scored from twelve meters to make it 2-0, Willy Orban increased again shortly before the end.
FSV Mainz 05 - Union Berlin 1: 0 (1: 0)
Mainz 05 is getting better and better under coach Svensson.
The team won against Union Berlin 1-0 (1-0).
At Mainz, Szalai was in the starting line-up for the first time in almost a year.
He was preferred to Glatzel, who had come from Cardiff City at the beginning of the week and saw the Mainz lead gate from the stands.
Niakhaté converted a penalty to 1-0 (22nd minute).
In the 48th Union keeper Luthe saved strongly after a Szalai header (48th), before the guests had to do without Schlotterbeck from the 54th, who saw yellow-red after repeated fouls.
FC Augsburg - VfL Wolfsburg 2: 0 (0: 1)
VfL Wolfsburg confirmed the strong form of the last few weeks in the game against Augsburg.
Wolfsburg won 2-0 (1-0) at FCA.
The first half offered few highlights, until in the 38th minute Weghorst was able to run up to the Augsburg goalkeeper Gikiewicz and overcame him with a lob.
After the break, Baku only met offside (55th) and a little later regularly to 2-0 (59th).
Wolfsburg remains unbeaten in the sixth game in a row and is still on course for the Champions League.
Gladbach - 1. FC Cologne 6.30 p.m.
