BERLIN, March 2, (AP): Bayern Munich’s title hopes have suffered another blow.
Lucas Höler scored late for Freiburg to frustrate Bayern with a 2-2 draw in the Bavarian powerhouse’s 2,000th Bundesliga game.

Bayern, the 11-time defending champion, was on the verge of cutting the gap to league leader Bayer Leverkusen to five points until the 87th minute when Höler struck a fine volley with his left boot inside the far post after the visitors failed to clear the ball.
Leverkusen can move 10 points clear at the top with a win at Cologne in their derby on Sunday. Ten rounds remain after this weekend.

“It’s annoying how things are going right now. For me personally, for everyone,” said Jamal Musiala, who put Bayern in front. “We all want to win and be champions. We want to get titles and we just have to stay as positive as possible and push through, and play as well as possible to maybe (win) something still.”
Bayern next hosts Lazio on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, needing to overcome a 1-0 loss from the first leg in Rome.
All four goals on Friday were spectacular.

Freiburg made a better start and Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made a fine save to stop Roland Sallai’s header, then Sallai hit the crossbar with an overhead kick, and Christian Günter struck the ball perfectly to send it inside the far post in the 12th.
