Vincenzo Grifo has now netted four goals directly from free kicks this season.
His Freiburg side are 2-0 up against Paderborn in the 40th minute when the set-piece specialist curls the ball over the wall and into the net, leaving goalkeeper Lukas Kruse without a chance and putting SCF well on course for victory.
The league leaders ended up winning the game 4-1, not least thanks to the Italian’s seventh goal of the campaign..
