Thomas Müller increased the lead to 2-0 in the 78th minute. For the substitute Bayer, it is the 710th competitive game for Bayern Munichmaking Müller the club’s sole record player. “Records like that aren’t that important to me, but rather that I scored a brutally beautiful goal today, technically outstanding, and then it went in. That’s what I enjoy,” said Müller on the streaming service DAZN. In injury time, Freiburg’s Lucas Höler shot a handball penalty over the goal.

After the game, FC Freiburg criticized the penalty decision. “A really crazy penalty. If that was handball, then I’d rather just stop playing football. That’s such nonsense,” said captain Christian Günter later on DAZN. Coach Julian Schuster also criticized the video assistant referee’s intervention: “I don’t know why anyone would complain,” said the coach. On Saturday, the third matchday, Bayern will face Holstein Kiel. Freiburg will play VfL Bochum on the same day.

Paul Wanner (9th minute), on loan from FC Bayern Munich, scored the first goal of the game after a handball by Keven Schlotterbeck, which was only decided after video evidence. “That’s madness,” Schlotterbeck later criticized the decision. Léo Scienza (30th) increased the lead to 2-0 in front of 15,000 spectators. In the second half, Adrian Beck (69th) and Maximilian Breunig (73rd) finally made it 4-0.

The FC Augsburg had more possession in the first half and several chances to equalize. Schlotterbeck missed one of these, hitting the crossbar with his head. Even the substitutions of ex-Dortmund player Marius Wolf and Swiss international Rubén Vargas did not help Augsburg to score. For Heidenheim, who qualified for the Conference League, it was the fifth win in five competitive matches this season. On Friday of the third matchday, Heidenheim will face Borussia Dortmund, while Augsburg will play against FC St. Pauli on Sunday.
