BERLIN, Aug. 25 -- Daniel Ginczek's late goal secured Wolfsburg a 2-1 win over Schalke whereas clinical Frankfurt eased 2-0 past wasteful Freiburg at the first round in Germany's top flight Bundesliga on Saturday.

The "Wolves" ensured a winning start into the season after beating ten-men Schalke 2-1 on home soil.

Both sides staged a lively opening period yet Wolfsburg worked out the better opportunities, as Maximilian Arnold pulled wide from promising position before William tested Schalke goalkeeper Ralf Faehrmann in the 25th minute.

Hence, it came as no surprise that Wolfsburg broke the deadlock eight minutes later when John Anthony Brooks had all time and space to head home Arnold's cross to the far post.

Wolfsburg gained momentum and pushed forward but failed to extend the lead before the break meanwhile things went from bad to worse for Schalke as Matija Nastasic saw a straight red card for a rude foul play in the 65th minute.

However, despite having a numerical disadvantage it were the visitors who restored the parity out of the blue when Nabil Bentaleb converted a foul play penalty to make it 1-1 on the scoreboards with 85 minutes played.

Just when Schalke settled for a hard earned draw, Wolfsburg's substitute Daniel Ginczek snatched the late 2-1 winner in the dying minutes of the game to upset the visitors.

After two defeats in two different competitions, Eintracht Frankfurt sewed up a 2-0 win against wasteful Freiburg.
