Bayern Munich icon Thomas Müller further cemented his legendary status by becoming the club’s all-time leader in appearances, and he marked the occasion by coming off the bench to score in a 2-0 victory over Freiburg, extending Bayern’s dominance in this fixture to 22 wins out of the last 26 encounters.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Although Bayern finished a disappointing third in the Bundesliga last season, their home form remained formidable, winning 14 of 17 matches at the Allianz Arena. So it was no surprise that the hosts took control of the game from the outset, with Jamal Musiala’s mesmerizing dribbling causing havoc for the Freiburg defense. After a relatively quiet start, the pressure mounted on Freiburg, culminating in a crucial sliding block from Lukas Kübler to deny Musiala a simple finish, followed by Florian Müller’s vital save to keep out Michael Olise.As the first half neared its end, Bayern finally broke the deadlock, though not without controversy. A VAR review awarded the hosts a penalty for a debatable handball decision. Harry Kane, the recent recipient of the European Golden Shoe, confidently stepped up and converted the spot-kick, maintaining his perfect penalty record since joining Bayern and completing his tally of scoring against every Bundesliga team except Freiburg last season.Bayern continued to dominate the proceedings, but a rare moment of defensive uncertainty nearly allowed Freiburg back into the game, as Patrick Osterhage’s deflected shot tested Manuel Neuer. A tactical change by Vincent Kompany saw Thomas Müller introduced for his 710th competitive appearance for Bayern – a milestone he celebrated in style. Müller controlled the ball expertly before drilling in his 150th Bundesliga goal, further solidifying his place in the club’s history.That strike seemed to sap the energy from Freiburg, who had battled valiantly but were ultimately outclassed. Their afternoon went from bad to worse in stoppage time when Lucas Holer blazed a late penalty high over the bar, capping off a frustrating day for the visitors. The win ensured that Bayern’s undefeated home league record against Freiburg remained intact, while Freiburg’s new manager, Julian Schuster, faced a tough baptism in what proved to be an overwhelming challenge.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 2FridayUnion Berlin – St.Pauli 1-0 (1-0)/Hollerbach 34/SaturdayStuttgart – Mainz 3-3 (2-1)/Millot 8, Leweling 15, Rieder 88 – Amiri 43 pen, Burkardt 62, Leitsch 90+4/Werder – Dortmund 0-0Holstein Kiel – Wolfsburg 0-2 (0-2)/Arnold 27, Bornauw 30/Eintr.Frankfurt – Hoffenheim 3-1 (2-0)/Ekitike 24, Larsson 33, Marmoush 56 – Kramaric 54/Bochum – M’ gladbach 0-2 (0-0)/Kleindienst 67, Honorat 78/Leverkusen – RB Leipzig 2-3 (2-1)/Frimpong 39, Grimaldo 45 – Kampl 45+7, Openda 57, 80/SundayHeidenheim – Augsburg 4-0 (2-0)/Wanner 9 ,Scienza 40, Beck 69, Breunig 73/Bayern – Freiburg 2-0 (1-0)/Kane 38 pen, Muller 78/
