Freiburg edge out Eintracht Trier in German Cup first round

Freiburg have defeated Eintracht Trier 2-0 at Moselstadion to book their spot in the second round of the DFB-Pokal.

The Bundesliga outfit failed to break down their fourth-tier opponents in the first half, and the teams went into the interval goalless.

That soon changed, however, with Julian Schuster firing Freiburg ahead six minutes after the restart.

Karim Guede added a second 20 minutes before time to put Christian Streich's men in command, and Trier were unable to find a response.
