GERMAN Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich made sure it will go into next month's winter break top of the table after beating ten-man Freiburg 2-0 on Wednesday to open up a 10-point lead.
Thomas Mueller's first-half penalty and substitute Anatoliy Tymoshchuk's 79th-minute strike gave the Bavarians, who take on champion Borussia Dortmund tomorrow, their 12th win in 14 league matches to move on to 37 points with three games left this year.
The visitors never really hit top gear against battling Freiburg after coach Jupp Heynckes opted to rest Bastian Schweinsteiger ahead of tomorrow's showpiece match.
"Freiburg are a hard team to play against," Heynckes said.
"But for long stretches we did it well, defensively we did not let anything through apart from the two chances they had."
Freiburg, which came into the match on the back of a four-game unbeaten run and had Fallou Diagne sent off in the 18th, dropped to tenth.
Gonzalo Castro scored twice as Bayer Leverkusen claimed its fifth win in six games with a 4-1 victory at Werder Bremen to move up to second on 27 points.
Borussia Moenchengladbach's Juan Arango scored a sensational goal in its 2-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg, volleying in a 45-meter diagonal cross from the edge of the box. 'Gladbach moved up to ninth on 20 points.
VfB Stuttgart is a point behind after edging past bottom-placed Augsburg 2-1 with Vedad Ibisevic heading in the winner in the 69th. Toothless Hoffenheim slumped to a 2-4 defeat at Nuremberg, piling pressure on coach Markus Babbel, whose team has won just one of its last nine games and is anchored in the relegation playoff spot.
