Concedes four in loss
Atubolu recorded four saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-1 defeat versus FC Augsburg.
Analysis: Atubolu's tough start to the season continued Sunday as he conceded four goals, all of which came in the second half. He has now conceded seven goals across two matches this season, and has been forced into making 12 saves. He'll hope to bounce back Saturday at Mainz.
Allows three on debut
Atubolu made eight saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Union Berlin.
Analysis: Atubolu's competitive debut with his new club was less than ideal. The goalkeeper was beaten three times, though individually it's hard to blame him when he made eight saves. The defense in front of him looks to be a mess, and despite the brilliant individual play, it just wasn't enough to make a difference.
Loaned to Frankfurt with buy option
Atubolu has joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan through the end of the season from Freiburg, with a buy option that becomes mandatory under certain conditions, according to the club. Sporting director Markus Krosche said "With Noah Atubolu we are gaining a strong, ambitious and already very experienced goalkeeper."
Analysis: Atubolu made 125 competitive appearances for Freiburg's first team, keeping 15 clean sheets in his debut season alone while setting club records with 609 consecutive minutes without conceding and five straight saved penalties in the Bundesliga. He started all 15 matches during Freiburg's run to the Europa League final last season, conceding just 13 goals in the tournament, and the 24 year old goalkeeper, who has been part of Germany's extended senior squad picture, now begins the next stage of his career at Frankfurt. He will fight with Kaua Santos for the starting spot between the posts.
Allows three goals in final
Atubolu had three saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-0 loss against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Atubolu had a rough night as Freiburg fell in the UEL final, making three saves while also allowing three goals. This continues a rough stretch to end the season, as the goalie has not earned a clean sheet since April 12. His UEL campaign ends with 15 starts, earning five clean sheets, 13 goals allowed and 42 saves.
Beaten once in easy win
Atubolu had five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over RB Leipzig.
Analysis: Atubolu was beaten with a long-range shot from Assan Ouedraogo, but that was the lone goal he conceded. The goalkeeper was the first-choice shot-stopper for Freiburg all season long, both in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Europa League. He closes out the league campaign with 57 goals allowed, 102 saves and six clean sheets while starting every match.
Two saves but lose 3-2
Atubolu made two saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Hamburger SV.
Analysis: Atubolu made two saves but was unable to prevent Hamburg from scoring three. The keeper has kept six clean sheets in his 33 Bundesliga games this season, while also keeping five in the Europa League. He has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of his last seven games, but has made a total of 12 saves in his last four games.
Concedes once
Atubolu had three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Wolfsburg.
Analysis: Atubolu made three saves while allowing just a goal to Wolfsburg on Sunday. He's conceded 11 goals in the last seven league appearances, making 21 saves while keeping a clean sheet in that span. The keeper will head to Hamburg for the next Bundesliga match on Sunday, who have scored five goals in the last five contests.
Allows four to Dortmund
Atubolo allowed four goals while making a save during Sunday's 4-0 loss to Dortmund.
Analysis: Atubolo allowed three goals in the first half and one in the second as Freiburg dropped all three points Sunday. The keeper has allowed five goals while combining for five saves and keeping a clean sheet over his last three league starts. Freiburg travel to Braga for Europa League action on Thursday.
Concedes once in win
Atubolu recorded one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against FC Heidenheim.
Analysis: Atubolu conceded one goal Sunday, a Budu Zivzivadze strike in the 58th minute which tied the match at 1-1. He only needed to make one save beyond that, a credit to his defense for shutting down the Heidenheim attack. He faces a much more difficult matchup Sunday at Dortmund, a side which has scored 61 goals through 30 matches this season.
