Harry Kane converted a penalty and Thomas Muller scored in his club-record 710th game as Bayern Munich beat Freiburg 2-0 in the Bundesliga on Sunday (Sep 1). Muller replaced new signing Michael Olise in the 59th minute to break a tie with goalkeeping great Sepp Maier on 709 career games in all competitions for Bayern. Muller scored in the 78th when he controlled a cross from Serge Gnabry with one touch to take the ball away from Freiburg's Maximilian Eggestein, then used his second touch to slam it past goalkeeper Florian Muller.
Harry Kane scored his first Bundesliga goal of the season as Thomas Muller became Bayern Munich's all-time record appearance holder in the win over Freiburg. The England captain, who scored 36 times in Germany's top-flight last season, sent goalkeeper Florian Muller the wrong way from the penalty spot in the 38th minute after Christian Gunter handled inside the penalty area.
Muller, 34, came on as a second-half substitute for his 710th competitive appearance, passing former German goalkeeper Sepp Maier's record of 709 in all competitions. And Muller marked the occasion by scoring his 150th Bundesliga goal to double the lead in the 78th minute and make it two wins out of two for Bayern in the league under new manager Vincent Kompany. He is the only player to score a goal in Europe's top five leagues in each of the last 16 seasons, a run starting in 2009-10.
Freiburg substitute Lucas Holer missed a penalty in stoppage time when he blazed over the bar.
The hosts dominated possession at the Allianz Arena and went close to scoring before Kane's opener. Serge Gnabry's deflected shot looked to be heading for the bottom corner before it was cleared, while Kane headed narrowly wide after a cross by Michael Olise, who joined from Crystal Palace in July.
Kane's penalty put Bayern in control before 12-time Bundesliga winner Muller, who made his senior debut for the club in 2008, made sure of the points in Kompany's first home league game in charge.
Portugal midfielder Joao Palhinha also made his league debut for Bayern as a substitute after joining from Fulham in July. Palhinha gave Freiburg the chance of a late consolation when he handled Ritsu Doan's volley inside the penalty area, but Holer missed from the spot.
Bayern's next game is away to newly-promoted Holstein Kiel on Sep 14.
Heidenheim rout Augsburg
Another Bayern player scored Sunday as on-loan Paul Wanner converted a penalty for Heidenheim on his team's way to a 4-0 win. The 18-year-old Wanner scored the spot kick in the ninth minute after a handball by an Augsburg defender. Leo Scienza made it 2-0 in the 30th before second-half goals from Adrian Beck and Maximilian Breunig secured the win.
Heidenheim has won all five of its games in all competitions this season. It's only the team's second Bundesliga season and its first in continental competition after qualifying for the Europa Conference League, where it will play Chelsea.
Heidenheim's United States national team forward Lennard Maloney went off injured shortly before half ime after a collision with Augsburg's Fredrik Jensen, whose knee struck Maloney in the back as they challenged for the ball at a corner.
