After the international break in November, Bayern Munich started their Bundesliga games again in a very exciting manner. The reigning champions had to fight back from a 2-0 deficit to secure a 6-2 victory over Freiburg at Allianz Arena. Thanks to Saturday's win, Bayern made sure they had an eight-point advantage at the top of the league standings.

Vincent Kompany made some interesting team choices on Saturday, keeping in mind Wednesday's Champions League match against Arsenal. Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof were given starting positions, while Joshua Kimmich was placed on the bench, as the Belgian coach went with a midfield duo of Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic.

From the very beginning, Freiburg appeared to be the sharper team. Early in the game, the visiting team had two significant opportunities, but Die Roten were fortunate on both occasions. Freiburg controlled both penalty areas in the first 10 minutes, as Die Roten struggled to take control of the game.

The visitors were eventually rewarded for their strong start when they took the lead in the 12th minute. Jan-Niklas Beste sent in a superb corner kick that found Matthias Ginter inside the penalty area. Ginter headed the ball towards Yuito Suzuki, who powerfully shot it into the net from close range.

Five minutes later, the visitors stunned the Allianz Arena by doubling their advantage. From the right corner, Beste delivered another excellent cross that found Johan Manzambi in the penalty area. Manzambi jumped higher than everyone else to head the ball past Neuer.

Freiburg's second goal had truly awakened Bayern. The home team began to connect passes in the attacking third of the field. In the 22nd minute, they managed to reduce the deficit with a fantastic goal from Lennart Karl. Michael Olise was the creator of the goal, as he drove forward with the ball in the attacking third and delivered a perfectly placed pass to find Karl in the penalty area. With a clever touch, the young player moved away from his defender and then placed the ball into the left corner of the goal.

After scoring their first goal, Die Roten were able to gain momentum. Freiburg struggled to regain control of the ball as they had in the first 15 minutes. The Bavarian club created opportunities at a good pace and was close to scoring the equalising goal. In the added time of the first half, they finally broke through. Before the French forward unleashed a powerful shot to beat the goalkeeper, Olise and Karl combined brilliantly in the attacking third.

Vincent Kompany's halftime talk does the trick for Bayern

The equaliser just before the half-time break was exactly what Bayern needed to get into their rhythm. In the 55th minute, the home team took the lead after Olise sent in an accurate cross from the corner for Dayot Upamecano to head the ball into the net.

Following a header from Aleksandar Pavlovic inside the penalty area, Harry Kane scored, increasing Bayern's advantage to two goals. The English attacker extended Die Roten's lead by successfully manoeuvring the ball beyond Noah Atubolu, putting them in a strong position.

After entering the game as a substitute, Nicolas Jackson secured the victory for the home team by scoring in the 78th minute. With composure, the Senegalese player directed the ball into the bottom right corner, although the play's success was greatly influenced by Olise's smart pass to Jackson. Demonstrating his outstanding individual abilities, the French winger increased the score in the 84th minute by bending the ball around Atubolu from just outside the box. Hiroki Ito came on as a substitute and assisted Olise's goal.

Although Bayern's performance against Freiburg was not flawless, they showed resilience by overcoming early challenges. Kompany will be hoping that his team displays greater focus and intensity in their upcoming match against Arsenal on Wednesday.
