Wasteful Bayern stumble in title race as Dortmund win late
Champions Bayern Munich stumbled to a 1-1 draw at Freiburg to hand the Bundesliga top spot back to Borussia Dortmund, who beat Wolfsburg 2-0.
Bayern, who had won 13 of their previous 14 league games, cancelled out Lucas Hoeler's third minute goal with Robert Lewandowski's 199th Bundesliga goal in the 22nd minute.
But the Poland striker's sensational volley was not enough and he wasted a bagful of golden scoring chances in the second half, including a point blank header, and even hit the woodwork in stoppage time.
Bayern are on 61 points, two behind Dortmund whom they will meet next week.

Juventus were denied the chance of winning Serie A for a record eighth time in a row on Saturday, following a shock 2-1 defeat at relegation-threatened SPAL.
Kevin Bonifazi and Sergio Floccari struck as SPAL completed a most unlikely turnaround to claim three points in their battle to avoid the drop, making Juventus wait a while longer to be confirmed champions again.
Juve only needed a point to be certain of winning the league and Massimiliano Allegri made a whole host of changes, resting Cristiano Ronaldo, Federico Bernardeschi, Mario Mandzukic, Alex Sandro, Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Ajax.
