channelnewsasia.com

MUNICH, Germany: Bayern Munich blasted five goals past hapless Freiburg in a 5-0 Bundesliga demolition job on Sunday (Oct 16) to leapfrog them into second place.The champions are now on 19 points, one ahead of third-placed Freiburg, who suffered their second league loss, and four behind leaders Union Berlin, who were 2-0 winners over Borussia Dortmund.Bayern, who squandered a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw with Dortmund last week, quickly showed they meant business with Serge Gnabry heading in on the rebound after Freiburg keeper Mark Flekken had parried a close-range shot by Leroy Sane in the 13th minute.The champions hogged possession and gradually upped the pressure with forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting doubling their lead after shaking off Matthias Ginter and threading a low shot inside the far post for his first league goal of the season.Freiburg, whose only previous league loss was back in August, hardly got a look in and did not get a shot on target in the entire first half.It was much of the same after the break with Bayern hitting the woodwork through Gnabry six minutes after the restart.Sane did a better job a minute later, whipping in a superb left-footed shot past Flekken to make it 3-0 before Sadio Mane's chip over the keeper in the 55th killed off the game.Marcel Sabizter's 80th-minute shot completed Bayern's rout.
