Overview

• An errant pass inside two minutes at SC Freiburg led to Derry Scherhant’s opener in a 2-2 draw, extending Robin Koch’s run of high-profile mistakes.
• Coach Dino Toppmöller labeled it an individual error, praised Koch’s subsequent response, and said he expects the captain to recover.
• Sporting director Markus Krösche highlighted a broader pattern of simple, careless errors across the team that are triggering counterattacks.
• Since taking the armband after Kevin Trapp’s departure, Koch has struggled to steady the back line, with Frankfurt now on 18 goals conceded in the Bundesliga, the worst tally reported among clubs.
• In Freiburg, Koch won four of nine duels as scrutiny grows over his leadership and contract value, though the club still views him as central to its ambitions.
