Bundesliga 2025-26: Olise leads Bayern Munich to 6-2 comeback win against Freiburg

Champions Bayern Munich raced from two goals down to crush visitors Freiburg 6-2 in the 2025-26 Bundesliga on Saturday, with Michael Olise scoring twice and adding a further three to maintain their unbeaten run and lead the title race.

Bayern’s win means it now has 31 points, with Bayer Leverkusen, 3-1 winners at VfL Wolfsburg, second on 23.

The Bavarians, who saw their winning streak of sixteen games in all competitions end the previous matchday with a 2-2 draw against Union Berlin, were two goals behind after 17 minutes.

The visitor caught the Bayern defense on two set pieces, with Yuito Suzuki heading in from close range after a quick passing move from a corner in the 12th minute.

Five minutes later, a Freiburg corner sailed to the far post, where the unmarked Johan Manzambi headed past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer for a 2-0 lead.

Bayern, who travel to Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday, mounted a comeback almost immediately, with Lennart Karl scoring a fine finish in the 21st after an assist from Olise.

France international Olise then turned scorer, leveling the score with a powerful shot in first-half stoppage time.

Bayern’s comeback was complete in the 55th when Olise whipped a corner to the far post for Dayot Upamecano to volley home before Harry Kane added another goal five minutes later – his 14th league goal this season.

Another solo run and assist from Olise for Nicolas Jackson gave Bayern their fifth goal in the 78th, before Olise curled a stunning shot into the top corner to cap his five-star performance.
