Bayern Munich continues to lead the Bundesliga with 48 points after defeating Freiburg 2-1 away on the nineteenth matchday. Forward Harry Kane opened the scoring for Bayern in just 15 minutes of play, followed by a goal from Aleix García and another from Xavi Simons that resulted in an own goal by Edmond Tapsoba, validated by VAR. With this victory, the team managed by Vincent Kompany remains at the top of the table.
In another match of the day, Bayer Leverkusen failed to close the gap to the leader after drawing 2-2 against RB Leipzig. The visiting team opened the scoring with a goal from Patrick Schick in the 18th minute, although there was controversy over a possible foul. However, Matthias Ginter equalized for Freiburg with a header in the 21st minute. Leverkusen seemed on track for victory with a goal from García, but a direct free kick from David Raum and an own goal from Tapsoba complicated their situation.
The matchday also included a 2-2 draw between Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen, Augsburg's 2-1 victory over Heidenheim, Stuttgart's 2-0 defeat against Mainz, and Borussia Mönchengladbach's 3-0 thrashing of Bochum. With these results, Bayern continues to lead the Bundesliga, while Leverkusen remains six points away in the table.
