BERLIN (AP) — Freiburg has put the brakes on Borussia Dortmund’s early-season optimism by holding on for a 2-1 win in the Bundesliga.

Goals in each half from Vincenzo Grifo and Roland Sallai gave Freiburg its first win of the season and dealt new Dortmund coach Marco Rose his first league defeat after the 5-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the opening round last weekend. Bayer Leverkusen routed Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-0 to give new coach Gerardo Seoane his first Bundesliga win.
