FREIBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Bayer Leverkusen bounced back from a midweek setback in the Bundesliga after an opportunist goal by forward Kai Havertz gave them a scrappy 1-0 win at Freiburg on Friday.

The result lifted Bayer, who were hammered 4-1 by VfL Wolfsburg at home on Tuesday, two places up to third on 56 points from 29 games, eight behind champions and leaders Bayern Munich who entertain Fortuna Duesseldorf on Saturday.
