September 01, (THEWILL) – Thomas Muller celebrated his record-breaking 710th appearance for Bayern Munich by scoring in their 2-0 victory over Freiburg at the Allianz Arena. The win marked Bayern’s second consecutive Bundesliga success under new manager Vincent Kompany in the 2024 season.
The home side took the lead in the 38th minute when Freiburg’s Max Rosenfelder was penalised for handball following a VAR review. Harry Kane confidently converted the resulting penalty, sending goalkeeper Florian Muller the wrong way.
Muller, who came on as a substitute, doubled Bayern’s advantage in the 78th minute. The veteran forward controlled a cross from Serge Gnabry before firing into the roof of the net, sealing the victory for the Bavarian giants.
Freiburg had a chance to pull one back in stoppage time after Joao Palhinha handled Ritsu Doan’s shot. However, Lucas Holer failed to capitalise on the opportunity, blazing his penalty over the crossbar.
The result maintains Bayern Munich’s strong start to the Bundesliga campaign under Kompany’s leadership. The team will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
