Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, without injured striker Harry Kane, fought back from two goals down to clinch an incredible victory over Freiburg thanks to Lennart Karl’s 99th-minute winner.<\/p>\n
England captain Kane was ruled out with the ankle problem that meant he missed the Three Lions’ 1-0 defeat by Japan at Wembley on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Manager Vincent Kompany is remaining “positive” the former Tottenham forward could feature in the first leg of Bayern’s Champions League quarter-final at Real Madrid on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Without him, Bayern looked on course to suffer only their second league defeat of the season as they trailed 2-0 in the 81st minute after goals from Johan Manzambi and Lucas Holer.<\/p>\n
But 20-year-old Tom Bischof scored twice with fine strikes from outside the penalty area, including a 92nd-minute equaliser, to make it 2-2.<\/p>\n
Karl, 18, capped the superb fightback when he was left free at the back post to convert from Alphonso Davies’ low cross to give Bayern victory.<\/p>\n
That goal was the 100th Bayern have scored in the Bundesliga this season, from only 28 matches.<\/p>\n
Freiburg had earlier forced Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who turned 40 last week, into a stunning reflex save to keep out Philipp Lienhart’s diving header, though it was then judged offside so would not have counted any way.<\/p>\n
There was nothing Neuer could do about Manzambi’s stunning 25-yard strike in the first minute of the second half.<\/p>\n
Freiburg doubled their advantage in the 71st minute when Holer scored after Neuer palmed a corner into his path.<\/p>\n
