At the start of the 24th matchday, FC Bayern couldn’t get beyond a draw at SC Freiburg – the game ended 2:2 (1:1).

This plan worked in the eleventh minute. After a shift from the right side to Vincenzo Grifo, he crossed into the penalty area for Roland Sallai. Manuel Neuer was able to parry his header, but could not hold on to it. Sallai used the rebound for an overhead kick, but it never hit the crossbar. The ball, which bounced off again, then came halfway up to Christian Günter, who volleyed it past the Munich defense from the edge of the penalty area and into the right corner of the goal.
After that, Freiburg were closer to the second goal than Bayern were to equalizing. But that changed in the last third of the first half. Bayern became more precise in attack. In the 35th minute it was an individual action that led to the equalizer. Mathys Tel won the ball back from a harmless corner and remarkably converted it, also from the edge of the penalty area, into the right corner.

After the break, Bayern pushed for the lead more consistently. But Freiburg also had chances. Harry Kane had the chance to take the lead straight after kick-off (46th) – a few minutes later Maximilian Eggestein (48th) for Freiburg.
In the 75th minute it was another individual action that led to the goal: Jamal Musiala dribbled through the Freiburg penalty area with small, quick steps, leaving several defenders standing, then was able to finish and score. After that the game seemed decided. Until in the 87th minute a Freiburg throw-in, extended by Michael Gregoritsch, came to Lucas Höler, who shot it with a remarkable volley into the left corner of the goal. Neuer could only watch for the equalizer.
