As City get off to a flyer, TSV began less successfully, losing 2-1 away to Freiburg. This is the fixture me and the Shoutster had set our hearts on going to this season, due to it's close proximity to Basle, where we can get free digs, but financially it was not possible. From what I can make out with my below average German, it was one all at half time, before Ghvinianidze, one of TSV's centre half put through his own goal to hand the home team victory. looking at the team sheet, only Lars Bender started, his brother Sven coming on in the 62nd minute. Although disappointed, it is always nice to get a result in your first game, Freiburg did finish quite a ways above 1860 last season, so they will have started favourites. Better news from the DFB cup, the German equivalent to England's FA cup, where they advanced 2-0 against TSG Neustrelitz (??) last week. Goals from Benjamin Lauth (pictured) and Mustafa Kucukovic saw them through. The Bender twins were rested after turning out for the u-19 national team. Next up in the league is FSV Mainz 05, at home on Sunday.
