FC Bayern München 6-2 SC Freiburg: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of FC Bayern München 6-2 SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 22 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

SC Freiburg took an early lead in the match against Bayern München, with Y. Suzuki finding the net in the 12th minute assisted by M. Ginter, followed quickly by J. Manzambi's goal in the 17th minute assisted by J. Beste, putting the visitors ahead 2-0. Bayern responded before the half-hour mark when L. Karl scored in the 22nd minute with an assist from M. Olise, and M. Olise added another in the 45th minute assisted by L. Karl to level the score at 2-2 by half-time. Aleksandar Pavlović received a yellow card in the 40th minute for Bayern, adding some tension to the first half.

The second half saw Bayern dominate, starting with a substitution at 46' where K. Laimer replaced L. Goretzka, and D. Upamecano scoring in the 55th minute assisted by M. Olise to take the lead. H. Kane extended the advantage in the 60th minute with an assist from A. Pavlovic, and after further substitutions including N. Jackson replacing L. Karl at 71' and Kim Min-Jae replacing D. Upamecano at 77', N. Jackson netted in the 78th minute assisted by M. Olise. Late changes at 83' saw W. Mike replace H. Kane and H. Ito replace A. Pavlovic, before M. Olise sealed the 6-2 victory with a goal in the 84th minute assisted by H. Ito, while Freiburg made multiple substitutions at 64' and 77' but couldn't mount a comeback.

Bayern München's commanding 72% possession allowed them to dictate the tempo and create numerous attacking opportunities, overwhelming SC Freiburg's 28% share and contributing to their higher tally of successful dribbles at 61 compared to Freiburg's 45, which highlighted their superior ball-carrying ability and led to more goal-scoring chances. Despite Freiburg earning more corners with 5 against Bayern's 3, they failed to capitalise effectively, while Bayern's 6 assists underscored their precise teamwork in breaking down the defence, contrasting with Freiburg's mere 1 assist that limited their threat after the early goals. The single yellow card for Bayern and none for Freiburg kept the match flowing without major disruptions, and both teams utilising all 5 substitutions—such as Bayern bringing on K. Laimer for L. Goretzka at 46' and N. Jackson for L. Karl at 71'—helped Bayern maintain energy levels to secure the win, with no penalties or injury-time goals influencing the outcome.

These stats reflect Bayern's dominance in key areas, making them a strong bet for overperformance in possession-based markets, while Freiburg's corner advantage suggests potential value in set-piece betting despite their defensive frailties exposed here.

The match turned decisively in Bayern München's favour after SC Freiburg's early strikes, with the hosts pulling one back through L. Karl's goal in the 22nd minute to spark their comeback, followed by M. Olise's equaliser in the 45th minute that shifted momentum heading into the break. A key turning point came post-interval with D. Upamecano's header in the 55th minute giving Bayern the lead for the first time, compounded by H. Kane's clinical finish in the 60th minute that effectively broke Freiburg's resistance. Impactful substitutions bolstered Bayern's surge, notably N. Jackson coming on for L. Karl at 71' and promptly scoring in the 78th minute, before M. Olise's late strike in the 84th minute capped a rampant second half, while Freiburg's triple change at 64'—including P. Osterhage replacing J. Manzambi—failed to stem the tide.

Bayern München lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with a strong emphasis on fluid attacking partnerships, particularly between M. Olise and L. Karl in the first half, allowing for creative interplay behind H. Kane as the focal point up front, while the midfield duo provided defensive solidity before substitutions adjusted the dynamics.

SC Freiburg deployed a 4-4-2 setup, relying on the wide threats from players like J. Beste to support the forward pairing, with M. Ginter anchoring the defence and contributing to early attacking moves, though the structure struggled to contain Bayern's pressure after the interval despite midfield adjustments via substitutions.

Michael Olise earned Man of the Match honours for his outstanding performance, scoring twice in the 45th and 84th minutes while providing three assists for L. Karl, D. Upamecano, and N. Jackson, demonstrating his vision and flair that turned the game in Bayern's favour and making him a standout for bettors eyeing player-specific markets in future fixtures.
