GOALS from Borussia Dortmund's Neven Subotic and Mario Goetze gave the German Bundesliga champion a 2-0 win at SC Freiburg during a heavy snowfall yesterday to close the gap on the top spots.
Ruhr Valley rival Schalke 04 leapfrogged into second place with a 1-0 win over Nuremberg courtesy of a Jefferson Farfan goal to complete a memorable seven days during which it also beat Dortmund as well as Arsenal in the Champions League.
Dortmund, which defeated nine-time European champion Real Madrid in the competition last Wednesday, was bullied by the hosts for much of the first half before bouncing back.
After missing a string of early chances following the break, including Mario Goetze's point-blank effort, Subotic, with his back to the goal, headed in a curled Marco Reus free-kick for the lead. Goetze made amends in the 84th minute, picking up a Robert Lewandowski pass to slot the visitors' second goal and lift them to 15 points in fourth place with Schalke on 20.
VfL Wolfsburg, which sacked coach Felix Magath on Thursday, got its first win after eight games to move off the bottom under interim coach Lorenz Guenther Koestner with a 4-1 demolition of Fortuna Duesseldorf.
A hat-trick by Hungary international Adam Szalai - his first in the Bundesliga - steered Mainz 05 to a 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim to move into fifth, a point behind Dortmund.
Leader Bayern Munich, on a maximum 24 points after winning all eight games so far, hosts Bayer Leverkusen today. Eintracht Frankfurt, on 19, can reclaim second spot with victory at VfB Stuttgart.
