Michael Olise delivered a stunning performance as Bayern Munich overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Freiburg 6–2 in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Olise scored twice and provided three assists, creating goals for Lennart Karl, Dayot Upamecano and Nicolas Jackson, while Harry Kane also added his name to the scoresheet. The victory strengthened Bayern’s position at the top of the league, extending their lead to eight points after Borussia Dortmund dropped points against Stuttgart.
Freiburg took an early lead through Yuito Suzuki and Johan Manzambi, both scoring from set pieces to silence the home fans. Bayern responded swiftly, with Karl converting an Olise pass to pull one back. Olise then levelled moments later, firing in a deflected shot from close range.
Karl had a second goal disallowed for offside early in the second half, but Bayern soon took the lead as Upamecano finished from an Olise corner.
Kane made it 4–2 midway through the second half, blasting home from close range. The England striker has now scored 24 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions this season.
Olise continued his dominant display by setting up Jackson for Bayern’s fifth goal before scoring again late in the match to complete the comeback. The result means Bayern have dropped only two points in 18 matches across all competitions this season.
In other fixtures, Borussia Dortmund drew 3–3 at home to Stuttgart. Dortmund led 2–0 at halftime through an Emre Can penalty and a Maximilian Beier finish, but Deniz Undav scored a second-half hat-trick to rescue a point for Stuttgart. Karim Adeyemi had given Dortmund a late advantage, but Undav equalised in stoppage time.
Bayer Leverkusen claimed a 3–1 victory away at Wolfsburg, with goals from Jonas Hofmann, Edmond Tapsoba and Malik Tillman. The result lifted Leverkusen into second place.
Elsewhere, Augsburg defeated Hamburg 1–0 through an Anton Kade goal, while Borussia Moenchengladbach beat Heidenheim 3–0 away. Promoted Cologne were scheduled to host Eintracht Frankfurt later in the day.
