Bayern Munich defeated Freiburg 3-1 on Sunday to move atop the Bundesliga standings. Dayot Upamecano and Serge Gnabry put the visitors ahead 2-0 by halftime. Michael Olise sealed the win late after Freiburg's goalkeeper ventured upfield, leaving the net unguarded.
Coach Vincent Kompany remains hospitalized after collapsing at training Friday and is expected to miss several days. Bayern fielded a depleted squad missing multiple starters including captain Manuel Neuer, Luis Diaz, Jamal Musiala and others due to injury or bereavement. Assistant Aaron Danks took charge from the sideline as the team managed pressure from Freiburg throughout.
Bayern's victory puts them ahead of Borussia Dortmund before the clubs meet in Munich next week. Harry Kane's late effort was saved but went unrewarded as he continued his pursuit of major honors.
