Bayern turn chaos into a goal festival as Olise leads stunning 6-2 comeback win | OneFootball

What threatened to become one of Bayern Munich’s most frustrating nights of the season instead turned into a roaring statement of intent!

After stumbling through an uneven first half and conceding twice from set pieces, the German champions returned with renewed purpose, rediscovering their structure, pace, and ruthlessness.

The result was an avalanche of goals - led by a sensational Michael Olise - that flipped the match on its head and reminded the Bundesliga exactly how quickly Bayern can shift into unstoppable mode.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the game between Bayern Munich and Freiburg:

First half:

Freiburg approached the match with admirable courage, pressing high and venturing forward with confidence from the opening minutes. Their bravery paid off quickly. Bayern - missing Laimer, Kimmich and Gnabry in their starting eleven and therefore experimenting with a heavily rotated XI - needed time to settle  and Freiburg took full advantage.

The visitors struck first from a well-executed set piece: Beste whipped in a dangerous corner that found Matthias Ginter, who cleverly redirected the ball with his heel into the path of Suzuki. The striker reacted sharply, sliding his finish past Manuel Neuer to hand Freiburg a deserved early 1-0 lead.

If that raised eyebrows in Munich, what followed was even more startling. Bayern looked rattled, and Freiburg kept pushing. Before the clock hit twenty minutes, another corner undid the hosts: this time the delivery sailed directly toward Manzambi, who outmuscled Olise in the air and powered his header beyond Neuer. Suddenly, Freiburg were up 0-2 and Bayern’s pre-international-break momentum looked completely disrupted.

Remarkably, nearly every meaningful chance resulted in a goal - and Bayern soon joined the shootout. Olise picked out Karl inside the box with a deft pass and the young forward showed superb technique: cushioning the ball with his left foot before finishing cleanly with his right to pull one back for 1-2.

That goal reignited Bayern: Confidence surged, passes sharpened and pressure mounted on Freiburg’s back line. Just before halftime, the reigning champions completed the comeback. Karl turned provider this time, slipping a well-weighted ball to Olise, who slotted home the equaliser to make it 2-2.

A frenetic, high-tempo first half ended with Bayern 2-2 Freiburg, setting the stage for a compelling second act in Munich.

Second half:

Bayern came out of the dressing room with clear intent, immediately placing Freiburg under heavy pressure. Karl, one of the standout performers of the first half, seemed to pick up right where he left off - showcasing brilliant dribbling before finishing a move assisted by Stanisic. The goal, however, was ruled out for offside. It was a warning sign for Freiburg, and it didn’t take long for Bayern to turn that momentum into something official.

In the 55th minute, Bayern drew inspiration straight from Freiburg’s own first-half playbook. Copying the very corner routine that had undone them earlier, Olise delivered a precise set piece onto the head of Dayot Upamecano, who powered the ball into the net to complete the turnaround at 3-2.

Barely five minutes later, the Allianz Arena rose again. Harry Kane- quiet until then - finally appeared in the right place at the right time. A loose ball in the box fell kindly to him, and the Bundesliga’s top scorer made no mistake, guiding in Bayern’s fourth with characteristic composure.

There was a moment of concern shortly after when talisman Karl was forced off with what looked like a hip injury. He was able to walk off under his own power - an encouraging sign - but his absence briefly hushed the crowd.

The silence didn’t last. The newly substituted Nicolas Jackson needed only seven minutes on the pitch to get on the scoresheet, finishing off another fluid Bayern attack to push the lead to 5-2.

But the night belonged to Michael Olise. Already the architect of three assists and scorer of one, he added a spectacular second goal in the 84th minute - a sublime curling strike from outside the box that sailed into the top corner, easily the most stunning goal of the match and the perfect capstone to his performance.

The final whistle confirmed a remarkable turnaround: after trailing 0-2, Bayern defeated Freiburg 6-2, combining resilience, firepower and the brilliance of Olise to secure a memorable comeback victory.
