Bayern Munich held on to top spot in the Bundesliga with a precious 3-1 win at Freiburg in the seventh round on Sunday evening.
Two days after Vincent Kompany collapsed on the training pitch, his players handed the Belgian coach a reason to celebrate from his sickbed.
The win pushed Bayern to 17 points at the summit. Freiburg stayed frozen on 13 points in third.
Website "Spox" ran through the main highlights of the match, with Aaron Danks taking charge of the Bavarians from the bench after Kompany's illness.
Upamecano opened the scoring in the 16th minute. He won the ball himself, fed Olise, then surged forward onto a return through ball, found himself facing goal and buried it.
The defender wasn't done there. He denied Freiburg an equaliser by blocking an effort from Lucas Höler.
Bayern then cranked up the attacking tempo, turning the match into an open and entertaining contest.
But Olise's shot in the 24th minute, Lennart Karl's in the 25th and Serge Gnabry's in the 28th all lacked the required accuracy.
Gnabry extended the lead in the 42nd minute. It was his 100th goal in the Bundesliga, pouncing on a pass from Brown.
Harry Kane spurned his first real chance in the 57th minute with a header.
Freiburg, beaten at home for the first time, pulled one back through Tom Bischof, an own goal in the 82nd minute.
Bayern quelled the hosts' late uprising when French forward Michael Olise struck in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time.
