  "account": "Bayern Munich secured a 3-1 victory over SC Freiburg at the Europa-Park Stadium, maintaining their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season. The hosts, who began their campaign with four wins and a draw in their first five matches, were forced to defend against late pressure after Tom Bischof's own goal in the 82nd minute. Bayern took the lead early on when Dayot Upamecano scored from a counter-attack, capitalizing on a mistake from Freiburg's defense. Serge Gnabry doubled the lead for Bayern three minutes before halftime with a precise finish from a tight angle. Despite Bischof's own goal, Bayern's Michael Olise restored their two-goal advantage deep into stoppage time, ensuring the win. Bayern currently leads the table with 17 points from seven games, ahead of Borussia Dortmund on goal difference. Freiburg, on the other hand, sits third with 13 points. Earlier in the day, Hoffenheim defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 at home, but midfielder Alexander Prass received a red card shortly before the end of the match for celebrating his goal by removing his shirt.",
  "summary": "The Bundesliga champions preserved their unbeaten start but had to withstand late pressure from Freiburg, who pushed for an equaliser.",
