CHAMPION Borussia Dortmund opened a three-point lead at the top of the German Bundesliga after a 2-0 win at Nuremberg on Friday stretched its unbeaten run to 14 league games.
On a freezing Bavarian evening, with temperatures hovering around minus 15 degrees Celsius, captain Sebastian Kehl gave his team a deserved lead in the 48th minute when he slotted the ball in following a Lukasz Piszczek layoff.
Paraguay international Lucas Barrios, who turned down several offers of a move earlier in the week, got his first goal of the season 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute, in the 82nd.
Dortmund, on a four-match winning streak, has 43 points from 20 matches. It is three points ahead of Bayern Munich, which was at Hamburg SV yesterday, and Schalke 04, which was hosting Mainz.
The only sour note for coach Juergen Klopp's team was an ankle injury sustained by Sven Bender that forced the midfielder off early in the game.
"It was not easy for us today and that makes this win all the more special," Klopp said."
Nuremberg lies in 14th place with 21 points.
