Robben scores twice as Bayern beats Freiburg 2-1

Arjen Robben scored two late goals Saturday to help Bayern Munich rally for a 2-1 win over Freiburg to regain the Bundesliga lead.

Cedrick Makiadi had given the visitors a surprising lead in the 31st minute, taking a pass from Yacine Abdessadki and blasting the ball into the upper right corner from 17 yards.

Freiburg's compact defense then kept an under-strength Bayern at bay until the 76th minute, when Robben converted a free kick.

Bayern, which was without Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribery and Mario Gomez, then took the lead after Ivica Banovic fouled Thomas Mueller in the area and Robben converted the penalty in the 83rd.
