Bayern beat Freiburg to reclaim top spot after Kompany illness

Bayern Munich reclaimed top spot in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 win at Freiburg on Sunday, just days after coach Vincent Kompany was hospitalised after collapsing at training. Bayern led 2-0 at half-time through Dayot Upamecano and Serge Gnabry, despite missing several first-team players and Kompany, who remains in hospital being treated for a “mystery virus.” The coach is expected to be out “days, not weeks.” Freiburg pulled one back and pressed late, but goalkeeper Mio Backhaus was caught forward, allowing Michael Olise to score into the empty net. Bayern moved above Borussia Dortmund ahead of their Munich clash next week.
