West Ham secured a historic win against Freiburg, marking a ground-breaking 17-game unbeaten run in European competition – a feat unmatched by any English side to date!
Lucas Paqueta set the stage alight, soaring high to score a perfectly timed goal off a Jarrod Bowen cross, launching the Irons on a path to victory. Despite a minor hiccup with Roland Sallai prodding in an equalizer, Nayef Aguerd's precision off a James Ward-Prowse corner secured the crucial win.
West Ham's attacks in the first half left Freiburg struggling, and their defensive prowess limited the opposition to just one shot on target before halftime. The momentum shifted with Sallai's equalizer, adding tension to the game. However, the Hammers regained their lead thanks to Aguerd's determined header, clinching the decisive goal.
This victory makes West Ham the first English side to achieve a remarkable 17 consecutive games without defeat in European competitions, outshining the legacies of revered teams managed by the likes of Don Revie and Bill Nicholson.
West Ham asserted their dominance in Group A with six points, and Freiburg standing second, trailing by three points. ⚒️🎉
