Overview
- SC Freiburg beat FC St. Pauli 2-1, snapping a run of five Bundesliga matches without a victory.
- Günter became the club’s sole record appearance holder with his 441st competitive match, having tied Andreas Zeyer at 440 in the recent DFB-Pokal win in Düsseldorf.
- Fans celebrated the milestone before kickoff as Günter addressed the curva with a megaphone and later joined in post-match festivities.
- Although he started this home fixture, Günter has not been an automatic selection under coach Julian Schuster after recent omissions at Union Berlin and in Nice.
- Schuster hailed the tally as a “magical number” and emphasized the value of securing the three points with their captain back in the lineup.
