Bayern Munich secured a commanding 2-0 win against Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday, thanks to stellar performances from Harry Kane and Thomas Muller.
Harry Kane opened the scoring with his first Bundesliga goal of the season, converting a penalty after the referee reviewed a video replay. Kane won the spot kick when he headed the ball onto Freiburg defender Max Rosenfelder's outstretched arm.
The highlight of the match was Thomas Muller's record-breaking goal. Replacing new signing Michael Olise in the 59th minute, Muller celebrated his 710th game for Bayern by scoring his 150th Bundesliga goal. His strike in the 78th minute showcased his incredible skill as he controlled a cross from Serge Gnabry and slammed the ball past goalkeeper Florian Muller.
Muller shared his thoughts after the game, saying, \"Records aren't so important for me, to be honest, instead it's that I scored a really beautiful goal. Outstanding technique and then it goes in too, that's what's fun for me.\"
At 34 years old, Muller continues to amaze by scoring in 16 consecutive German top-tier seasons since the 2009-10 campaign. This match also marked his 474th Bundesliga game for Bayern, breaking another tie with goalkeeper legend Sepp Maier.
The game remained tight until deep into added time when Bayern's new signing Joao Palhinha conceded a penalty for handball. However, Freiburg's Lucas Höler missed the opportunity by firing over the bar, ensuring Bayern maintained their clean sheet.
Coach Vincent Kompany celebrated his first home win with Bayern, joining Heidenheim and Leipzig as one of the three Bundesliga teams to win both of their opening games this season. This victory also ended Bayer 04 Leverkusen's impressive 15-month unbeaten league run last Saturday.
