CHAMPION Borussia Dortmund closed in on its second consecutive Bundesliga title on Wednesday, beating rival Bayern Munich 1-0 with a backheel from Robert Lewandowski to go six points clear at the top of the table with four games left.
Poland international Lewandowski struck in the 77th minute, flicking in a Kevin Grosskreutz shot with his heel for his 20th league goal of the season that lifted Dortmund to 69 points and left Bayern in second place on 63.
Bayern, whose nine-game winning streak was snapped, missed the chance to level five minutes from time when Arjen Robben had his penalty saved by Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller.
"The final minutes were unbelievable," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp told reporters. "I think we deserved the win and we could not have played better."
