BERLIN (AP) --- The 17-year-old Lennart Karl starred for Bayern Munich as the
Bundesliga leader fought from two goals down to beat Freiburg 6-2 on Saturday.
Karl, who was making his ninth league appearance and second start, delivered a
timely message to Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann before the World Cup next
year by instigating Bayern's comeback with a goal, assist and sparkling play.
Michael Olise also starred by scoring two goals and setting up three more.
Freiburg capitalized on Bayern's passive start with Yuito Suzuki and Johan
Manzambi scoring after corners inside the first 18 minutes. It was the first
time Bayern had fallen behind at home this season.
Karl replied four minutes later after controlling Olise's ball with his left
foot and scoring with his right, and the youngster returned the favor for Olise
to equalize before the break.
The irrepressible Karl might have scored again after the break, only he had a
would-be goal ruled out after a VAR check for offside in the buildup.
Dayot Upamecano scored from Olise's corner and Harry Kane added to his
league-leading tally on the hour mark.
Karl went off to resounding applause in the 71st after taking a knock to his
hip, leaving Olise to set up substitute Nicolas Jackson for the fifth in the
78th. Olise completed the scoring in the 84th, set up by Hiroki Ito, who was
making his first appearance of the season.
Stuttgart forward Deniz Undav conceded a penalty and then scored a hat trick to
earn a 3-3 draw at Borussia Dortmund.
After firing its coach and sporting director during the international break,
Wolfsburg's hopes of a fresh start were dealt short shrift in a 3-1 loss at
home to Bayer Leverkusen.
Borussia Mnchengladbach won 3-0 at Heidenheim, and Augsburg defeated Hamburger
SV 1-0.
Eintracht Frankfurt was visiting Cologne later.
