As they get ready to face Lazio in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 next week, Bayern had a terrible beginning in their 2,000th Bundesliga game. The home team was able to create opportunities to attack.
The people from Bavaria were grateful to their goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, because he made amazing saves during the beginning of the first half, which helped them stay in the game.
The team from Freiburg made use of their opportunities against a Bayern team that is struggling with problems. At the end of the season, coach Thomas Tuchel will no longer be with the team. Freiburg took advantage of this situation by taking the lead in just the 12th minute.
Neuer impressively deflected a header from Roland Sallai with his hand and then witnessed the Hungarian's subsequent bicycle kick hit the post. Unfortunately for Neuer and his team, Christian Günter powered the ball into the net.
During the second half hour, the team that was playing at home had multiple opportunities to score, but unfortunately, they couldn't convert any. Against all odds and expectations, Bayern managed to score in the 35th minute, thanks to an unstoppable long-range shot by Mathys Tel.
After halftime, the guests were more alert and almost scored with Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane. Eventually, Musiala executed a solo run down the left side, moved into the penalty area, and expertly curled a low shot past the Freiburg goalkeeper to complete their comeback.
In the 87th minute, Freiburg managed to score with an amazing turn and shot in the box courtesy of Holer, resulting in a late equalizer. Bayern's performance in the league has been poor as they have only won one out of their last four games.
