- A foul on Freiburg’s Engelhardt produced a penalty in the 65th minute, and Moormann was sent off after VAR intervention; Ginter converted to make it 2–1.
- The return leg is scheduled for Thursday, 27 August, at 18:45 at Europa-Park Stadion, while Ginter may hope to return to the Germany squad under Jürgen Klopp after Julian Nagelsmann excluded him from the World Cup squad.

- The three females were aged three, 11 and 15; post-mortem examinations found severe dehydration and multiple organ failure in each, but the zoo said laboratory results were needed to confirm the cause.
- Ten of the park’s 16 lions have required treatment since mid-July after two first developed loss of appetite on 18 July, and the enclosure closed to visitors on 23 July as conditions worsened.
- One female and two males remain under treatment, while the park has not announced when the enclosure will reopen.
- Japan recorded 18,591 heat-related hospital admissions and 45 deaths from 20 to 26 July, while temperatures reached at least 40°C on five consecutive days through 25 July.
This is the first time we've experienced anything like this. Last year was also hot, but none of our lions fell ill like this.— Miwa Kosaka, a zoo representative, told the BBC.
