Result: Freiburg 2-2 Bayern Munich

Date: 15 May 2021

Venue: Schwarzwald-Stadion

Robert Lewandowski equalled an incredible record that stood for 49 years after scoring in Bayern Munich's 2-2 draw with Freiburg on Saturday afternoon.

Bayern, crowned champions last weekend, made three changes from the demolition of Borussia Monchengladbach as Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Niklas Sule were all recalled.

The Bavarians were threatening in the early stages and were awarded a penalty in the 26th minute after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) spotted Thomas Muller pulled down with his shirt inside the box in an off-the-ball incident.

Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock for the visitors from the spot, sending goalkeeper Mark Flekken the wrong way and equalled Gerd Muller's record of 40 goals in a single Bundesliga season.

Freiburg equalised almost immediately after a glancing header by Manuel Gulde at the near post from Vincenzo Grifo's corner and the hosts were calming down the game with possession in their own half.

Hans-Dieter Flick's charges had a quick start in the second stanza as Sane restored their lead eight minutes inside the second stanza, a minute after Gnabry's tap-in was disalowed for offside by the VAR.

Flick made a double tactical change on the hour-mark, as Corentin Tolisso replaced Muller while Lucas Hernandez came on for Marc Roca.

Freiburg were threatening to level matters in the last 20 minutes, as Lucas Holer unleashed a low volley unmarked inside the six-yard box that goalkeeper Alexander Nubel tipped towards the goal-line before it was cleared by Sule.

Christian Gunter finally equalised for the hosts eight minutes before time with a strike across Nubel after racing clear on goal from Grifo's through ball.

Lewandowski had a big chance to snatch the winner for Bayern in the last seven minutes with a header at the back post from Joshua Kimmich's deep cross but Flekken produced the save and Freiburg held on to frustrate the champions, safe from any relegation worries.
