The breakthrough came just before halftime, with a powerful shot from Freiburg's Maximilian Eggestein hitting the crossbar and going in, putting the home team up 1-0 in the 44th minute.
The second half saw SC Freiburg come out strong, and shortly after the restart, Ecuadorian defender Piero Hincapié inadvertently scored an own goal, doubling Freiburg's lead to 2-0 just four minutes into the half.
However, Bayer Leverkusen started to turn the tide as the match progressed.
