BERLIN (AP) — Eintracht Frankfurt’s revival under new coach Oliver Glasner continued Sunday with a 2-0 win at third-place Freiburg in the Bundesliga.

It was Freiburg’s first defeat in its third league game in its new stadium, and its second straight in the league after a 2-1 loss at leader Bayern Munich before the international break.

First-half goals from Jesper Lindström and Filip Kostic gave Frankfurt its third successive win across all competitions and its third altogether from 12 league games so far.

Frankfurt climbed to 11th in the 18-team division, ahead of Cologne on goal difference. Cologne drew at Mainz 1-1 in the late game, when its top scorer Anthony Modeste was forced off with an injury.

Glasner, who joined Frankfurt after leading Wolfsburg to the Champions League last season, had endured a difficult start to his tenure when Frankfurt was knocked out in the first round of the German Cup before going seven league games without a win.

Freiburg had drawn with Leipzig and beaten Greuther Fürth in its previous games at the new Europa-Park-Stadion.

Christian Streich’s team had the better chances early against Frankfurt, but the visitors had luck on their side as Freiburg’s Lukas Kübler inadvertently set up Lindström for the opener in the 34th. Then a free kick from Kostic was somehow missed by teammates and defenders alike before it bounced inside the top corner in the 43rd.
