Bayern on record course

Trying to forget a bit the whole World Cup, yesterday I watched a match from the German league: Freiburg versus Bayern Munich. 

Mighty Bayern are on the way to take the title yet again (their 13th in the last 14 seasons) in record format. Before the Freiburg match they had 97 goals, well on the way to beat their 1972 record of 101 goals. But it was not to be easy against Freiburg. After 0-0 in the first half the side from Baden-Wurttenberg managed to get ahead 2-0 by way of Johan Manzambi and Lucas Höler on two mistakes by the now rather old Manuel Neuer. 

Freiburg was still leading with 10 minutes to go when the young Tom Bischof scored his first two goals ever for Bayern Munich, and made it 2-2 on two great strikes from outside the box to the massive disappointment of the Freiburg fans. And it was to get worse: 8 minutes into added time another youngster, Lennart Karl, scored the winner and 100th season goal for Bayern Munich as the Freiburg defense just waited for the match to end.

Bayern Munich will be champions again.
