Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae led the team to victory with the winning goal.

Bayern won 2-1 in the 19th round of the Bundesliga against Freiburg in the 2024-2025 season at Europa Park Stadion in Freiburg, Germany on the 26th (Korea time).

The home team Freiburg played in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Lucas Wheeler was on the front line, and Doan Ritz, Merlin Roell and Ehrendingch were on the second line. The third line was built by Maximilian Egestein and Nicholas Höffler. Four Bags consisted of Lucas Quibler, Philippe Linhardt, Max Rosenfelder, and Jordi Makengo. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Noah Atubolu.




Bayern, the visiting team, faced off in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Harry Kane appeared on the one-top, followed by Sergi Gnabry, Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane. Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic worked together for the third term. The defense was built by Rafael Guerreiro, Kim Min-jae, Eric Dier and Joshua Kimmich. Manuel Neuer defended the goal.

Kim Min-jae was criticized for providing an excuse for a loss due to a regrettable mistake in the European Champions League match against Feyenoord. At the time of the first loss in the first half, Kim Min-jae was thrown in vain in the process of attempting to block the pass with his foot after the competition. Kim Min-jae's mistake led to Santiago Jimenez's winning goal. For Kim Min-jae, it was time for him to play an active role to make up for his mistake against Feyenoord.

Kim Min-jae actively moved from the beginning of the first half and played a pivotal role in defense and build-up. In the 8th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae's long pass opened the left attack, and Guerreiro finished the ball given by Gnabry who caught the ball with a cross. It failed to reach the bodies of Bayern players rushing to the center and unfortunately failed to lead to a score.




Bayern missed the chance. In the 13th minute of the first half, a powerful shot attempted by Musiala, who received Kim Min-jae's forward pass in front of the penalty box arc, seemed to be headed sharply to the corner of the goal. He swallowed his disappointment by hitting the goal post.

Kane scored the first goal to give Bayern the lead. Kane caught the pass that Dyer pushed from the right to the center in the 15th minute of the first half. Kane's shot, which advanced into the box after the pressure, shook the net as it was. Kane opened the scoring after eight games and had a chance to rebound again. Kim Min-jae blocked the opponent's attack with a solid defense. In the 18th minute of the first half, he blocked Doan's dribble with a cooperative defense with Guerreiro.

Bayern had an injury problem. Koretska collapsed in the 40th minute of the first half, and Josip Stanisic was put in. The first half ended with Bayern's 1-0 lead.

Bayern's additional goal early in the second half widened the gap. The main character was Kim Min-jae. In the 9th minute of the second half, Kim Min-jae finished the ball posted by Kim Mi-hee with a header and shook the net. It was a scene where Kim Min-jae's movement, who continued to shake the defense and the goalkeeper at the near post, shone. With this score, Kim Min-jae scored his second goal in the league in three months following the match against Frankfurt in October last year.

Kim Min-jae's performance was also brilliant in defense. In the 11th minute of the second half, Freiburg blocked the advance in front of the box itself with a sharp tackle during the attack development. In the 17th minute of the second half, he defended his position firmly in the air ball situation against Doan and prevented him from holding the ball.

Freiburg scored one goal back. In the 24th minute of the second half, Ginter finished the ball from a corner kick and aimed exactly at the corner of the Bayern goal. He succeeded in chasing after Neuer by flying on a good course that even Neuer could not respond.

Bayern even blocked Freiburg's last chance. In the extra time of the second half, he lowered the ball to the center of the Bayern box with a header, and Gregorich's shot continued, but headed to the side of the net. Kim Min-jae did not lose his concentration and interfered with the opponent's striker's shot. The match ended with Bayern's 2-1 victory.

Kim Min-jae played the full time of the game on the day, playing 117 pass successes, 96% pass success rate, one key pass, two tackle successes, eight ball possession recoveries, and five contest successes. Football statistics media Footmob gave Kim Min-jae the highest score of 8.6 points after the game and selected him as the best player (MOM).
