Munich—Bayern Munich’s next generation showed the club’s famed fighting spirit on Saturday, as Lennart Karl’s strike in the ninth minute of added time sealed a breathtaking 3-2 victory over Freiburg and kept the record champions on track for the Bundesliga title.

With the clock deep past the 90-minute mark, Karl collected a loose ball inside the area and arrowed a low shot beyond the goalkeeper, capping a dramatic second-half turnaround that left the Allianz Arena roaring. The last-gasp goal completed a comeback that had seen Bayern erase a deficit established by the visitors, ensuring all three points remained in Munich.

The win preserves Bayern’s momentum in the title race and underlines the growing influence of the club’s youthful core. Karl, one of several academy products to feature prominently, embodied the resilience coach and squad have preached throughout the campaign.

Freiburg, who had threatened to derail Bayern’s pursuit of silverware, were left to rue missed chances after twice leading on the afternoon. Yet the hosts’ refusal to accept defeat ultimately tipped the balance, propelling Bayern closer to their championship objective with the season entering its decisive stretch.
