Bayern loses ground ahead of Der Klassiker
Bayern Munich failed to produce a second-half winner against a gutsy Freiburg as it was held to a 1-1 draw that allowed Borussia Dortmund to move two points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
Lucas Holer put the hosts in front after just three minutes but Robert Lewandowski soon got the champion back on level terms with his 199th Bundesliga goal.
The visitors began to dominate but Freiburg stood firm, with a fantastic defensive performance and a series of saves from Alexander Schwolow denying Bayern, which also hit the post late on through Leon Goretzka.
Dortmund's win over Wolfsburg ensured it moved two points clear of Bayern at the top of the table ahead of the two clubs meeting in next weekend's Der Klassiker.
