The visitors stunned the defending champions by taking a 2-0 lead after just 17 minutes when Yuito Suzuki scored from close range and Johan Manzambi rose highest to head home Jan-Niklas Beste's corner. Bayern, who had not lost in the league since March, responded superbly and had restored parity by half-time. Teenager Lennart Karl fired into the bottom corner from Olise's pass in the 22nd minute and set up the Frenchman for a fierce finish in first-half injury-time, although Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu should have done better. Bayern took control in the second period as Dayot Upamecano headed home Olise's corner to put them ahead for a first time. England captain Harry Kane netted his 14th league goal of the campaign on the hour mark, before Olise made it three assists when he threaded a pass through for Nicolas Jackson to finish at the first time of asking in the 78th minute. Winger Olise completed a sensational afternoon with his second of the game six minutes later, driving at the Freiburg defence and curling into the far corner. A 10th victory in the first 11 games left Bayern eight points clear of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, while Freiburg remain 10th in the standings. Vincent Kompany's side visit Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday (20:00 GMT) with both sides having a perfect record of four wins so far in the league phase of the competition.

The England international headed in both goals in the second half after Scotland midfielder Caroline Weir's superb volley put the visitors in front. Renee Slegers' side were winless in their previous three matches, losing 3-2 to Bayern Munich last week and drawing with Tottenham and Chelsea in the league. Their form threatened to put Champions League knockout stage qualification at risk but victory over Real Madrid boosts their position with two league phase matches remaining. Aside from Russo's goals, Arsenal did not create many chances, though record signing Olivia Smith was dangerous and tested goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez on a few occasions. Real Madrid forwards Linda Caicedo and Naomie Feller were a threat throughout but Arsenal improved in the second half and got the job done. "I felt we deserved more. It was a very close game - the key moment was when we didn't go 2-0 up," said Real Madrid manager Pau Quesada. "I'm still very proud of the aggression we showed and our identity. We find it hard to accept this defeat." Arsenal host FC Twente after the international break before finishing their league phase campaign with a trip to OH Leuven. Only the top four teams out of 18 qualify automatically for the quarter-finals and the bottom five teams are eliminated.

In a frantic first half, Fridolina Rolfo's 14th-minute opener - her third goal in as many games in the competition - put United ahead against her former club. But her fine header was cancelled out just three minutes later as Wolfsburg's Ella Peddemors capitalised on a mix-up between visiting goalkeeper Safia Middleton-Patel and captain Maya le Tissier. An unintentional goal from Peddemors put the hosts in front in the 37th minute, with her delivery into the box evading everyone before squeezing past Middleton-Patel at the far post. Lineth Beerensteyn rifled home a third for the hosts in the 45th minute, but Melvine Malard gave United hope by replying in first-half stoppage time. However, Marc Skinner's side struggled to match the She-Wolves' intensity and Beerensteyn claimed her second, and her side's fourth in the 65th minute. The Dutch forward shrugged off Julia Zigiotti Olme before sweeping a strike through the legs of Le Tissier and past Middleton-Patel. United's defensive failings were again highlighted in added time when Jayde Riviere played a sloppy back-pass and Vivien Endemann latched on to it and rounded the keeper to slot home Wolfsburg's fifth goal. "We have to learn from our mistakes because this is not good enough," Rolfo told Disney+ after the game. "Defensively we struggled a lot. They could play through us too easy and we could not find our way back, so we struggled a lot." It was a chastening night for United, who had won their opening three games in their debut Champions League campaign, impressing against Valerenga, Atletico Madrid and particularly Paris St-Germain at Old Trafford last week. But they dropped down to the fourth and final automatic qualification spot for the quarter-finals with this loss. Two-time winners Wolfsburg replaced United in third spot, although they both have nine points, and Chelsea could leapfrog them if they beat second-placed Barcelona on Thursday.

With their hopes of qualifying automatically already effectively over, Wales at least had the consolation prize of a more favourable draw for the March play-offs, and they seized their opportunity by producing the best performance of head coach Craig Bellamy's tenure. Captain for the night Wilson put them ahead with a penalty after David Brooks was tripped, before Brooks himself applied a fine first-time finish to Brennan Johnson's cross. Wales let North Macedonia back into the tie less than two minutes later as a defensive lapse allowed Rangers striker Bojan Miovski to score, only for Johnson to rifle a 20-yard shot into the top corner - via a deflection - to restore his team's two goal-lead. In the space of 19 first-half minutes, North Macedonia had conceded as many goals as they had done in their previous seven games of this campaign. They fell further behind after the interval to the goal of the night as Johnson combined with Wilson, whose backheel teed up Daniel James to round off a dazzling team move. That goal felt like a snapshot of Wales' entire performance, a highpoint of Bellamy's reign; the former captain's ambitious vision for his team's style of play coming together on the night when it mattered most. Wilson curled in a beautiful free-kick from 25 yards before scoring his second penalty to become the first Welshman to score a hat-trick since Gareth Bale in 2021. The hosts were not quite done yet as they made it seven goals in one game for the first time in 47 years with Nathan Broadhead tapping in from debutant Isaak Davies' flick-on to complete the rout at a joyous Cardiff City Stadium.

Luis de la Fuente's side finish the campaign top of Group E, having won and kept a clean sheet in five of their six qualifying matches. La Roja looked likely to maintain that flawless record when, after just four minutes, Dani Olmo squeezed the ball home from Marc Cucurella's cut-back to score his 12th international goal on his first start since March. But they conceded a first goal of their campaign when Deniz Gul guided the ball past Unai Simon to equalise three minutes before the break. Turkey then went ahead on 54 minutes, Salih Ozcan powering a neat effort into the bottom left corner to leave Spain's 30-match unbeaten run in competitive internationals under threat. But in-form forward Mikel Oyarzabal restored parity eight minutes later with his sixth goal of qualifying, prodding home the rebound after Yeremy Pino's effort was cleared off the line. Second-placed Turkey needed to win by a seven-goal margin to deny Spain top spot and, while they showed tremendous spirit and fight, they could not overcome the European champions and had to settle for a play-off spot. Barcelona forward Olmo had chances to double his side's lead in the first half but was denied by two good saves from Manchester United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. Baris Yilmaz's acrobatic overhead kick also forced a superb save from Simon with the game finely poised at 1-1. The result means only England will end the European World Cup qualifiers having not conceded a goal.
