Bayern Munich reaffirmed their status as the dominant force in the Bundesliga, achieving a spectacular 6-2 victory against Freiburg at the Allianz Arena. The win was made all the more convincing by the fact that the Bavarian giants roared back from an early two-goal deficit, showcasing their elite mentality and explosive attacking power. This result sees Bayern continue their near-perfect run, claiming 31 points from a possible 33 after 11 rounds, comprising ten wins and just one draw.
Freiburg's Shocking Early Double Blow
The opening minutes of the match delivered a major shockwave through the Allianz Arena as Freiburg executed two perfect set-piece routines to take a stunning early lead.
The away side opened the scoring in the 12th minute. From a corner kick whipped in low from the right wing by Beste, the ball was flicked on by Ginter inside the six-yard box, creating a clear opportunity for Suzuki to rush in and slot home from close range. The goal put Freiburg ahead 1-0 and immediately rattled the hosts.
Just five minutes later, lightning struck twice, again from a corner. Beste delivered another dangerous ball into the center of the penalty area, where Manzambi rose highest, demonstrating superb strength to power a commanding header past Manuel Neuer. Incredibly, the reigning champions were two goals down within the first seventeen minutes of the game (0-2).
Olise and Karl Orchestrate First-Half Equaliser
Refusing to panic, Bayern slowly found their rhythm and began to exert the pressure expected of the league leaders. Their comeback began in the 22nd minute with a breathtaking counter-attack that combined speed and precision.
Olise was the catalyst, sprinting powerfully from his own half before delivering a precise, defense-splitting pass. Karl expertly ran onto the pass, escaping the defense to find himself one-on-one with goalkeeper Atubolu, and calmly finished low into the left corner to pull a goal back (1-2).
The crucial equalizing goal arrived in the dying seconds of the first half. In the second minute of injury time (45'+2), Bayern exploited the space they were now creating in the middle of the park. Karl turned provider this time, delivering a decisive pass back to Olise, who controlled the ball neatly before firing a decisive shot. Atubolu could only get a light touch on the powerful effort, failing to keep it out as the score leveled at 2-2, completely shifting the momentum heading into the break.
Bavarian Blitz Seals Dominant Second Half
The second half saw a complete demolition job, with Bayern exploding into the form of true Bundesliga leaders. The momentum gained from the late first-half equaliser carried straight into the next 45 minutes, with goals flowing almost immediately.
The third goal, and the one that completed the turnaround, came in the 55th minute from another set piece, this time in Bayern's favour. Olise delivered a pinpoint corner kick from the right wing directly onto the head of Upamecano, who had the simplest task of tapping the ball into the net to make it 3-2.
Less than five minutes later, Bayern continued their relentless assault. In the 60th minute, Karl again made a crucial contribution, passing to Pavlovic, whose delicate touch set up Harry Kane in a favourable position. The English striker made no mistake, firing a precise close-range shot to extend the lead to 4-2.
Olise's Masterpiece Concludes the Rout
Bayern refused to take their foot off the gas. The man of the match, Olise, provided another moment of individual brilliance in the 78th minute. Dribbling past defender Lienhart, he threaded a soft pass through to substitute striker Jackson, who finished low to the right corner for the fifth goal (5-2).
The impressive attacking performance was fittingly concluded with a magnificent goal in the 84th minute. Substitute Hiroki Ito launched a long pass from his own half, finding Olise, who had been given a well-deserved rest by the French national team. The Frenchman controlled the ball with exceptional skill, danced past two bewildered Freiburg defenders, and curled a beautiful shot into the top corner of the net, sealing the resounding 6-2 victory.
The match ended in a dominant display from Bayern Munich, whose ability to overturn a two-goal deficit with six unanswered goals highlights their championship pedigree. The victory maintains their formidable lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.
