  Freiburg struck first, Christian Gunter sweeping a fine effort into the bottom corner from outside the box. Mathys Tel leveled things with an eye-catching goal of his own, curling one into the top corner in his first Bundesliga start. The Bavarians thought hey had won it when Musiala danced through the Freiburg defence and scored. But a late goal from Lucas Holer saw the spoils shared.

  THE MVP

  On days when Kane can't quite make an impact, the Bavarians need someone else to stand out. This time, Musiala got the job done. The attacking midfielder was Bayern's most apparent attacking threat throughout, finding neat pockets of space and cute angles in the final third. His goal was astounding, too, a twisting run through three defenders and calm finish. His effort was good enough to win any football match. Those around him simply didn't show up.

  THE BIG LOSER

  It's hard to identify any player in the Bayern midfield who has enjoyed a consistent season. But Leon Goretzka has been maddeningly off-pace in recent weeks. And he was the same here, losing discipline defensively and failing to provide the kind of extra attacking thrust that the Bavarians needed. He disappeared on both goals, caught out of position for the first, and simply watched on the second as his man stroked the ball into the top corner. Goretzka wasn't the only disappointment, but a stronger showing from him and the result could have been different.
