Czech hosts Plzen dominated and had a 39th-minute goal from Rafiu Durosinmi disallowed because team-mate Prince Kwabena Adu was in an offside position right in front of goalkeeper Noah Atubolu.

However, Freiburg had also finally showed some life up front, most notably when Johan Manzambi's drive in the 74th was tipped against the outside post in a big save by Plzen goalkeeper Florian Wiegele.
Freiburg, who would have claimed first place with victory, have 11 points from five matches, and Plzen are also in contention for the knock-outs with nine points.
