Veteran Thomas M ller crowned a club record 710th appearance for Bayern Munich by scoring the second goal in a 2 – 0 Bundesliga victory over Freiburg on Sunday . M ller came on in the 59th minute to move one match ahead of Bayern goalkeeper legend Sepp Maier in all competitions , and then netted in the 78th to clinch victory . Harry Kane had opened the scoring in the 38th minute from the penalty spot after a Max Rosenfelder handball . The England captain has now scored against all 17 Bundesliga teams he has faced since arriving in Munich last year . ExtraordiaryM ller ” Records are not so important . But what I enjoyed was that I scored a brutally nice goal ,” M ller told streaming portal DAZN . Coach Vincent Kompany named M ller ” outstanding ” and recalled that he was present as a player from opponents SV Hamburg when M ller made his debut in August 2008 . Bayern were not glorious in Kompany ‘ s first home game as matchday one leaders Freiburg enjoyed large spells of possession after the break . They
missed a consolation goal when Lucas H ö ler fired a penalty over the bar on the last kick of the game . Heidenheim top after big win The victory moved Bayern to second in the standings with a maximum six points , trailing Heidenheim on goal difference after Heidenheim crushed Augsburg 4 – 0 in the day ‘ s other game to go top for the first time in club history . RB Leipzig also have six points after ending champions Bayer Leverkusen ‘ s unbeaten league run after 35 games the previous day with a 3 – 2 victory . Wanner makes history Bayern also played a historic role in Heidenheim ‘ s win because it was their loanee Paul Wanner who opened the scoring with a ninth – minute spot kick after a Keven Schlotterbeck handball which made him the youngest penalty converter in league history at 18 years and 253 days . L é o Scienza got the second at the half – hour mark , Adrian Beck made it 3 – 0 in off the post from a right angle in the 69th , and Maximilian Breunig wrapped up matters four minutes later . ” It is only
two matches but we now have 15 % of the points we need in the end [ to avoid relegation ],” Heidenheim coach Frank Schmidt said . Penalty debate at both games Augsburg lamented the penalty and the debate in Munich was as fierce after the hosts were awarded their spot kick when Kane headed against the arm of Rosenfelder from point blank range , and Freiburg got theirs in similar fashion with Joao Palhinha the culprit . ” I wouldn ‘ t want to get a penalty like that ,” Freiburg coach Julian Schuster said . Kane and M ller lift Bayern Justified or not , Kane calmly converted into the right corner , after receiving the top scorers cannon for his league leading 36 goals last season before the kick – off . Freiburg hung in there but Manuel Neuer saved from Lukas K bler and Patrick Osterhage before M ller had his big moment . He lifted a pass from Serge Gabry in his unique fashion around a defender and although he didn ‘ t hit the ball properly it went in for the final score . ” We always want the perfect game
. We were dominant in the first half and could have scored more . It wasn ‘ t the same after the break but in the end we won ,” Kompany said . dpa bag
