The top game against Freiburg is by no means a sure-fire success for Bayern.
But after goals from Goretzka and Lewandowski, the Munich team cheered in the end.
The sports club remains without a win in Munich.
Munich - After the hard work against fearless Freiburgers, the exhausted Bayern stars jumped relieved in front of the fan curve.
“Super-Bayern, Super-Bayern, hey, hey”, the Munich supporters shouted happily after the 2: 1 (1: 0) in the top game of the Bundesliga.
And: "Only the FCB will be German champions!"
Instead of casual football art, Bayern had to invest everything on Saturday to maintain their supremacy in Germany and to inflict the first defeat of the season on third in the table from Breisgau. National player Leon Goretzka (30th minute) and striker Robert Lewandowski (75th) scored with his 13th goal of the season in the Allianz Arena, which was filled with 75,000 spectators for the first time in a year and a half, against the best defense in the league. "We played against a good team," said Goretzka about the show of strength.
Substitute Janik Haberer shortened stoppage time for the guests.
"I'm glad that the goal came so late," said Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, relieved.
The Munich team go into the international break as a league leader.
Freiburg were also unsuccessful in their 22nd attempt in Munich (19 defeats, three draws).
Christian Streich was "satisfied" with the performance of his team: "We can't do more than we did," said the SC coach.
The well-organized South Baden team demonstrated why they are on a Champions League pitch after eleven match days.
“We knew if things were going to be difficult anywhere, it would be here in Munich.
That was a maximum test, ”said SC captain Christian Günter.
There was no big sampling in the top game first against third.
Bayern had two deals in the first five minutes by Niklas Süle and Alphonso Davies, which SC goalkeeper Mark Flekken parried.
After that, however, the Munich team offered the fearlessly pressing guests in the compact 3-4-3 system an astonishingly large amount.
Joshua Kimmich headed the ball into the barrel of Freiburg's center forward Lucas Höler, who missed the goal (12th).
The 56-year-old prank directed his eleven in his 300th Bundesliga game permanently on the edge of the field, but also raged several times after sloppy deals and the last passes of his players.
"We missed the last precision," quarreled Streich.
His young trainer colleague Nagelsmann (34) often walked dissatisfied through his coaching zone.
Many passes in the build-up game were inaccurate, the Freiburgers annoyed the Munich with their resistance.
But it happened, as has often been the case: the Bayern engine stuttered - and then switched up to a turbo attack with one-contact football.
Dayot Upamecano played on Goretzka, who cleared the attack after a lucky one-two with Thomas Müller.
"That makes us special that we are top manned in all positions," said goal scorer Goretzka about the individual class in the Munich squad.
The best defense in the league (Freiburg) made it difficult for the most scoring offensive (Bayern) to create opportunities even after the break.
But they did exist: Sané tested Flekken (54th).
Then Müller matched Goretzka, who hit the post (56th).
A splendid volley shot by the midfielder struck the goal (68th).
