Bayern Munich Teen Zirkzee Scores Winner on His Bundesliga Debut

FREIBURG, Germany (AP) – Dutch teenager Joshua Zirkzee marked his Bundesliga debut for Bayern Munich by scoring a crucial goal in stoppage time to help secure a 3-1 win over Freiburg on Wednesday.

Bayern was heading for a 1-1 draw and more dropped points before Zirkzee hit the ball between Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken's legs. Serge Gnabry made it 3-1 in the final seconds.

It was Zirkzee's first touch of the ball since coming off the bench. Before Wednesday, the 18-year-old's only appearance for Bayern's first team had been four minutes as a substitute in the Champions League.
