Bayern Munich veteran Thomas Müller made history by becoming the club’s all-time record appearance maker, scoring in a 2-0 Bundesliga home victory over Freiburg.
In his 710th match for Bayern, Müller came off the bench in the 59th minute with the team already ahead 1-0 from a first-half penalty by Harry Kane.
With 12 minutes left, Müller received a pass from Serge Gnabry, turned, and unleashed a powerful shot that skipped off the ground and past Freiburg goalkeeper Florian Müller.
Having made his debut for the club in 2008, Müller has now surpassed former goalkeeper Sepp Maier to become Bayern Munich’s leader in appearances across all competitions.
Kane had converted a 38th-minute penalty to give Bayern the lead after a VAR review showed the ball hit the arm of an unsighted Freiburg captain Christian Guenter.
Kane’s goal was his first so far this league season, with the England captain receiving an award for topping the Bundesliga goalscoring charts with 36 last season.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Joao Palhinha gave away a penalty for handball on his Bundesliga debut for Bayern, but Freiburg’s Lucas Hoeler fired the spot-kick over the crossbar.
The win continued Vincent Kompany’s perfect record in charge of Bayern, having won three from three in all competitions to start the season.
Freiburg have never won at Bayern in the league, a run of 25 games dating back to 1993.
Teenage Bayern loanee Paul Wanner scored a penalty and set up a goal as Heidenheim thrashed Augsburg 4-0.
The 18-year-old forward, who has three goals in three games in all competitions this season, stepped up to score a penalty after nine minutes, becoming the youngest player to convert a spot-kick in Bundesliga history.
Wanner created a goal for Adrian Beck, while Leo Scienza and Maximilian Breunig also got on the scoresheet in the dominant home win.
Heidenheim, promoted to the top division for the first time ahead of last season, will host Premier League side Chelsea in the Conference League in November as part of their debut European campaign.
Wanner played a crucial role in Thursday’s Conference League play-off victory over Swedish side Häcken, scoring a goal and providing an assist.
This win propelled Heidenheim to the top of the table for the first time in their history, following their opening match victory against promoted St. Pauli. Heidenheim currently leads on goal difference ahead of RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, with all three clubs having won their first two fixtures.
On Saturday, Leipzig secured a 3-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen, marking the German champions’ first league loss in 35 matches, a streak that began in May 2023.
