BAYERN Munich continued its spectacular title charge by beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 on Saturday, a 10th win in 11 German Bundesliga games keeping it seven points clear at the top.
A goal from Franck Ribery and a penalty by Austria international David Alaba put the Bavarians on 30 points. Schalke 04 is second after overcoming Werder Bremen 2-1 while Eintracht, without a win in three games, occupies third spot on 20.
Champion Borussia Dortmund eased past bottom club Augsburg 3-1, Robert Lewandowski netting twice and Marco Reus whipping in a curling free kick from the tightest of angles to lift it up to fourth on 19 points.
Eintracht weathered an early storm as Bayern pushed forward in numbers, buoyed by its 6-1 midweek demolition of Lille in the Champions League.
"You cannot always win 6-1 and play great," coach Jupp Heynckes told reporters. "It was a hard-earned win against a good team.
"It is sometimes difficult to switch over from Champions League mode. At the end of the day we used our cleverness and our experience to win this one."
Bayern and Eintracht both set Bundesliga records earlier in the season.
The Bavarians won their opening eight games to chalk up the best start in the competition's 50-year history while Eintracht made the best start by a promoted side by winning five of its first six matches.
Frenchman Ribery, in dazzling form this season, missed a good chance early on when goalkeeper Kevin Trapp got a foot to his low shot from seven meters.
Trapp twice more denied the winger but the visitors could do nothing a minute before the break when Javi Martinez found Ribery who scored with an easy tap-in. Bayern lacked the explosive pace it possessed against Lille but was hardly threatened in the second half and Alaba converted a 77th-minute penalty to secure victory.
Elsewhere, it was Hamburg 0, Freiburg 0; and Fortuna Duesseldorf 1, Hoffenheim 1.
