Bayern stings Schalke to stay top but Dortmund stumbles
BAYERN Munich struck twice in three minutes to beat Schalke 04 2-0 yesterday and stay top of the German Bundesliga with four wins from four as rival Borussia Dortmund lost 2-3 at Hamburg SV to end a 31-match unbeaten run.
Visiting Bayern, fresh from its opening 2-1 Champions League win over Valencia on Wednesday, took the lead in the 55th minute when in-form Toni Kroos - set up by Thomas Mueller - curled a low shot from 14 meters past goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall.
Mueller then scored the second goal himself, threading the ball through the legs of one defender on the right and slipping a shot between two others for his fourth goal of the season to silence the 61,000 crowd at the Auf Schalke Arena.
Bayern, which was without injured Franck Ribery, is on 12 points along with promoted Eintracht Frankfurt which beat Nuremberg 2-1 on Friday.
Champion Dortmund is five points behind after Hamburg battled to victory with two goals from South Korea's Son Heung-min. The host needed just two minutes to score when Rafael van der Vaart was given far too much space on the left to cross and Son beat Mats Hummels to head in his second goal of the season.
Dortmund instantly took control, launching a slew of attacks until halftime but neither Marco Reus nor Robert Lewandowski could beat 'keeper Rene Adler.
Ivan Perisic did it better, lobbing in the equalizer from the left 21 seconds after the restart. In a frantic five-minute spell, however, the host struck twice through Ivo Ilicevic and Son before Croat Perisic cut the deficit on the hour.
Dortmund is on seven points like fellow Champions League competitor Schalke while Hamburg, which holds the record for the longest unbeaten run of 36 league games from 1983, managed to lift itself off the bottom after three straight defeats.
Elsewhere, it was: VfL Wolfsburg 1, Gruether Fuerth 1; Mainz 2, Augsburg 0; and Fortuna Duesseldorf 0, SC Freiburg 0.
