? Still in the international break? Freiburg catch sleepy Bayern napping

SC Freiburg is playing an away game in Munich today. Quite possibly the toughest fixture on the schedule. However, after just 18 minutes, it didn't look that way. 

Bayern conceded two goals within six minutes from Freiburg corners. First, Suzuki was on hand after Ginter impressively flicked the ball with his heel, and then Manzambi easily nodded it in. Manuel Neuer seemed particularly at fault for the second goal, apparently misjudging the trajectory of the header. 

For the league leaders, who wanted to start their next winning streak after the last-minute draw against Union Berlin just before the international break, it was a surprising setback. 

There can be no talk of coincidence with the Sportclub's set-piece goals. They lead the league's set-piece table with already five goals from corners. Record expanded. For FC Bayern, it's a challenge they must address at the latest in preparation for the Champions League clash against Arsenal next Wednesday.

The Premier League leaders are, in the calendar year 2025, by far the strongest team in set-pieces. The Gunners have even scored 13 goals from corner variations. The set-piece specialists from the Black Forest provide the blueprint for Arsenal. 

Meanwhile, the Munich team has at least managed to score a goal back. Lennart Karl confirmed his top form and scored for the second time in the Bundesliga.
