22' GOAL! Freiburg 1-1 Bayern (Lewandowski)

GOAL! Lewandowski gets Bayern level! Following a corner from the right, Freiburg fail to clear their lines on numerous occasions and Goretzka is able to hook to ball back into a dangerous area from the edge of the box. Lewandowski does exceptionally well to control Goretzka’s pass before acrobatically finding the bottom left corner with a fantastic effort. 1-1.

72' GREAT CHANCE! Gnabry's shot saved

CHANCE! James slides the ball down the right for Gnabry who made a bright overlapping run. The German takes the ball in his stride before looking to strike it across goal and into the bottom right corner, but Schwolow is equal to it as he gets down quickly to make the save in the centre of his goal.

Lucas Holer put the hosts in front after just three minutes but Robert Lewandowski soon got the champions back on level terms with his 199th Bundesliga goal.
