Lennart Karl completes remarkable Bayern Munich comeback in Freiburg
Freiburg 2-3 Bayern Munich
Goals: 1-0 Manzambi 46’ (assist: Eggestein), 2-0 Höler 71’ (assist: Beste), 2-1 Bischof 81’ (assist: Karl), 2-2 Bischof 90’+2 (assist: Olise), 2-3 Karl 90’+9 (assist: Davies)
Bayern travelled to Freiburg without the services of star striker Harry Kane, who was ruled out with an ankle injury sustained on England duty. The Black Forest club, meanwhile, were hoping to end a dismal run against the record champions, having won just once in their previous 45 Bundesliga meetings.
The absence of Kane didn't prevent Bayern from controlling possession in the early stages, with Tom Bischof testing Noah Atubolu from distance. Freiburg grew into the game, though, and nearly took the lead when Philipp Treu fired just wide after good work from Niklas Beste.
Manuel Neuer - who turned 40 on 27 March - then demonstrated his enduring class with two outstanding reaction saves, denying Lucas Höler and Philipp Lienhart, albeit with both efforts subsequently flagged offside.
