Look at Matanovic's goal and assist in the season opener.

In a Bundesliga match at Freiburg's stadium, Freiburg opened the new season authoritatively by defeating Werder 4-1. The victory was led by Yuito Suzuki, who scored a hat-trick, and Croatian player Igor Matanović, who scored a goal and provided an assist. Matanović's goal came from a long-range shot from approximately 18 meters, and he later assisted Suzuki's fourth goal. Matanović, who joined Freiburg in July 2025 from Eintracht, has already scored twice in four days, including a goal in a previous Champions League playoff match. He is expected to play a significant role under coach Julian Schuster.
