Harry Kane and Eric Dier combined for a goal in the Bundesliga to become the first Englishmen to do so in the league's history.
On the right-hand side of the pitch, Dier played a pass into the feet of the striker who turned his man and fired into the bottom corner of Noah Atubolu's net.
It was Kane's 17th league goal of the season, edging him closer to the Bundesliga's golden boot award.
It was also a strike which ended a rather unique run in which Kane had failed to score from open play in two months.
His closest competitor for the trophy was Omar Marmoush, formerly of Eintracht Frankfurt, who recently completed a £59m move to Manchester City.
Kim Min-jae followed suit next with a goal in the 54th minute to double the lead.
Freiburg did score soon after but it was simply a consolation goal.
Before the match Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl was asked directly about Kane's lack of goals from open play.
He said: "Harry is the least of my worries. When you have a young player, you might worry more, but Harry Kane has had so many highs and also some lows.
"So if anyone can cope and deal with it, it's Harry Kane," he added.
"He knows that and is probably the one who is most critical of himself. But I don't think it's causing a mental problem for Harry."
Kane since coming to Germany has not been a stranger to criticism despite an impressive 66 goals in 69 appearances.
Dier has also been slammed for his performances for Bayern but has been a key piece for the club, especially when the likes of Dayot Upamecano and Kim are unavailable.
"Eric is a player with a lot of experience who knows what to do in these moments," said Vincent Kompany earlier this month. "Players like Eric have character and always prioritise the team."
Kane and Dier, who played together at Tottenham, are yet to attain silverware for Bayern as Bayer Leverkusen infamously won their first ever title last season.
But with Xavi Alonso's side drawing with RB Leipzig, Bayern are now six points clear on top of the table.
