Champions Bayern Munich had to swallow a late 2-2 equalizer in Freiburg which spoilt their 2,000th Bundesliga match and could see them lose further ground in the title race.

Bayern thought they had won it from a sensational solo effort by Jamal Musiala in the 75th minute.

But Lucas Höler then fired into the far left corner in the 87th for a share of the points which hurt Bayern much more than mid-table Freiburg.

Freiburg had a dream start when Christian Günter netted in the 12th minute in a Freiburg attack that first saw Roland Sallai denied by an amazing Manuel Neuer save and Sallai's overhead kick on the rebound hitting the crossbar.

Vincenzo Grifo missed a second for the hosts when he curled inches wide right against a confused Bayern defence.

But Grifo then lost a crucial duel against first time season starter Mathys Tel who turned and fired a 35th-minute equalizer high into the far right corner.

Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane came close after the restart before German international Musiala put Bayern ahead when he cut inside from the left and beat three defenders before firing home into the far right corner.

But Höler's goal means that Bayern are seven points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, and Xabi Alonso's unbeaten side can raise the advantage to 10 on Sunday with victory in a regional derby at lowly Cologne.

Friday's outcome will not give Bayern added confidence for next week's Champions League last 16 game against Lazio where they need to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg in Rome.

Bayern have won only one of their last five games in all competitions.
