Bayern Munich ended Freiburg's unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season with a 2-1 victory on Saturday and with it went four points clear at the top for at least a few hours.
Leon Goretzka and Robert Lewandowski were on target for the nine-time reigning champions who have now scored 100 goals overall in 2021. Brave Freiburg got a stoppage-time consolation goal from Janik Haberer.
Bayern are four points ahead of Borussia Dortmund who play the late game at last season's runners-up RB leipzig.
Freiburg remain third, another two points behind, despite their first league defeat on matchday 11, still waiting for a first-ever victory at Bayern in now 22 games there.
Wolfsburg beat Augsburg 1-0 from striker Lukas Nmecha, who has been nominated into the German national team for the first time; and Arminia Bielefeld claimed a first season win 1-0 at VfB Stuttgart thanks to Masaya Okugawa.
Bochum beat Hoffenheim 2-0 from Soma Novothny and Milos Pantovic's stoppage-time shot into the empty net from his own half. Bochum goalkeeper Manuel Riemann earlier hit a penalty over the bar, the spot-kick awarded after Florian Grillitsch pushed down Pantovic off the ball while it was still in play.
