ICING ON THE CAKE
Flekken twice denies Gnabry, before the Bayern scorer knocks a rebound back for Sabitzer to apply a routine finish. Harsh on Freiburg.

TIME ADDED ON
No punishment for Bayern, but we will have eight minutes added on after that bizarre stoppage...

STOPPAGE
The match officials are deep in discussion. Bayern momentarily had 12 players on the pitch...

TREBLE CHANGE
Streich had these lined up before the goal went it. It's hard to see Bayern throwing away a 3-1 lead now...

COMAN FOR THREE!
Bayern surely home and hosed now. Upamecano aims long for Coman, who cuts inside and squeezes an effort in at Flekken's near post from 18 yards. He got a hand to it, and will be disappointed not to have kept the ball out.
73'
GNABRY RESTORES BAYERN'S LEAD!
Anything Petersen can do, Gnabry can do better. Taking advantage of a Schlotterbeck slip, the Bayern sub controls a Hernandez cross before firing under Flekken. What an introduction!

PETERSEN LEVELS!
Lewandowski goes off, and within seconds Freiburg hit back. Petersen - himself having just come on - starts the move on the right-hand side. He runs inside to collect Günter's pass into the box and arrows a fine first-time finish beyond Neuer. That's his 100th Freiburg goal, and record-extending 33rd as a Bundesliga sub. What a story - he's ex-Bayern, too!

GOAL-RETZKA!
Bayern get the breakthrough! Kimmich clips a free-kick towards the six-yard box. Flekken comes, but is nowhere near the ball as Goretzka rises to head into the empty net.
52'
CHANCE!
Coman clips a ball over the top of the Freiburg defence for Müller. He's in behind and controls well, but Schlotterbeck does just enough to prevent him from getting a shot off, and Flekken's out to gather.
50'
NAGELSMANN'S WRATH
Nagelsmann voices his disapproval at the fourth official after Kimmich was caught late by Schmid. No malice in that - perhaps a sign of the Bayern coach's frustrations.
46'
HERE WE GO AGAIN!
No changes at the break, as Freiburg kick off the second half.
Kick-off!

ALL SQUARE AT THE BREAK
A competitive first half comes to a close in Freiburg. Bayern have seen more of the ball, albeit without seriously testing Flekken.
Half-time
44'
DECENT HIT
Coman stands up two Freiburg defenders on the edge of the area, before shooting through the legs of Gulde and straight at Flekken.
41'
KIMMICH!
Another set-piece from Kimmich, and almost the breakthrough. He goes straight for goal with an inswinging corner - it's travelling and sneaking in at the near post, before Flekken gets down to beat clear.
38'
NOBODY HOME
Grifo catches Müller to the left of the Freiburg area. Kimmich swings in the resultant set-piece, but the ball evades everyone on its way past the far post. Bayern are the division's third best team from free-kicks this season, behind Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen.
31'
DANGER MAN GRIFO
Grifo picks out Sallai in the Bayern box, but his shot from eight yards lacks the power to trouble Neuer. That all came about following a blocked Höfler shot, with Grifo the instigator once more.

SNIFF OF GOAL
Half chance for Freiburg as Eggestein feeds the run of Höler. He gets a toe to the cross, but Neuer's equal to it.
15'
SANE!
Goretzka feeds Sane 20 yards from goal. The space opens up for the Bayern No.10, but his curling strike is too close to Flekken.
12'
DENIED!
Another test for the Freiburg defence as Hernandez plays Coman in behind. His cross finds Müller at the back post, but he's caught in two minds and his cut-back is put behind for a corner. Nianzou - on target against Union - meets Kimmich's ensuing cross, heading off target.
11'
KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
Bayern come again as Kimmich has a shot blocked. A ball is clipped back in towards Lewandowski, but Günter's there first to steer a header back to Flekken.
8'
SCISSOR-KICK!
Neat and tidy passing from Bayern in the Freiburg box, but Lewandowski's loose first touch prevents him from getting a shot off. It's worked back to Goretzka, who sends an improvised effort into the arms of Mark Flekken from 18 yards.
5'
LEFT-WING THREAT
Grifo and Günter combine really well down the Freiburg left. A ball is crossed in towards Eggestein, who controls well before being crowded out.
1'
HERE WE GO!
Nagelsmann and Streich share a warm embrace prior to kick-off. The ball's rolling at a sold-out Europa Park Stadion - Freiburg in red, Bayern in black.
Kick-off!
UNFAVOURABLE READING
Streich has overseen one win in 18 meetings with Bayern (D5, L12), and two against teams coached by Nagelsmann (D3, L6).
LEWY ON THE HUNT
Lewandowski needs to score another 11 goals to break his single-season Bundesliga record tally of 41. The Poland striker has scored 20 times in 19 games against Freiburg, including six in his last seven...
THE STREICH VIEW
"It's always a special game against Bayern, the best team in Germany. It's always a special challenge. We want to make it tough for Bayern, be on a par with them as much as possible and not feel smaller than them. You need to think about your own strengths and change things up against Bayern."
THE NAGELSMANN VIEW
"Freiburg play good football with real intensity. They have the ability to change their approach during a game. They have strikers who work extremely hard and drop back to defend. They're a tough team to play through, especially in Freiburg. They'll demand everything from us."

TABLE TALK
Bayern lead Borussia Dortmund by six points, heading into the final seven matches of the season. Freiburg are fifth, behind RB Leipzig on goal difference alone. BVB host Leipzig in Saturday's late game, so there could be some temporary movement at least.
MORE ON THOSE TEAMS
Freiburg welcome back Nicolas Höfler, Woo-yeong Jeong and Philipp Lienhart, but former Bayern striker Nils Petersen has to settle for a place on the bench. As for the Bundesliga leaders, Benjamin Pavard returns at right-back and Leon Goretzka makes his first start since December following injury. Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala are among the substitutes.
