The result left Bayern seven points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who have 61 and can pull further away with a win over Cologne on Sunday.

Freiburg took a 12th-minute lead with Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer first palming a Roland Sallai header away, then seeing his rebound bicycle kick bounce off the post before Christian Guenter rifled in.

The hosts had half a dozen chances to score again in a strong half-hour before Bayern hit against the run of play with an unstoppable long-range shot from Mathys Tel in the 35th.

Jamal Musiala’s solo effort in the 75th put the visitors in front but they could not hold on to the win, with Hoeler bagging the late equaliser with a fine turn and shot in the box.

Bayern, who host Lazio in their Champions League last 16 return leg next week, have 54 points from 24 league matches.
