Bundesliga: Huszti's pearler does for Bayern
Werder Bremen saw off an heroicfightback from newcomers Hoffenheim to snatch a 5-4 win onSaturday, while misfiring Bayern Munich lost 1-0 at Hanover 96.Bremen, 5-2 winners away to Bayern last weekend, picked upwhere they left off in Saturday's Bundesliga clash at home toHoffenheim as they built up a 4-1 lead in the first half.
The visitors recovered to 4-4 before 10-man Bremen grabbed alate winner through Mesut Ozil.
While Bremen were running riot, Bayern were utterly devoidof ideas against Hanover, who took the lead with a SzabolcsHuszti free kick and held on comfortably.
Hamburg SV lead the standings with 13 points from six gamesafter a 1-0 win at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach, courtesyof a Mladen Petric goal. Bayer Leverkusen are second on 12points after a nervy 3-2 win at Bochum.
Bremen are up to third place on 11 points after their latestscoring spree, while Bayern, with just two wins to their name,are down in ninth place on eight points.
Once again Bayern were let down by a mistake from goalkeeperMichael Rensing, who could not get across quickly enough to keepout a clever free kick from Huszti in the 23rd minute.
Franck Ribery, recovered from his ankle injury, came on fora second substitute appearance of the season but even the Frenchplaymaker could not inspire a comeback.
The lack of bite in attack will be a worry for Klinsmannbefore Tuesday's Champions League clash with Olympique Lyon.
Werder, by contrast, can hardly stop scoring ahead of theirChampions League trip to face Inter Milan on Wednesday.
Ozil struck a carbon copy of his goal against Bayern lastSaturday to make it 1-0, cracking in a 20-metre shot at the nearpost before Hoffenheim equalised through Demba Ba.
Werder recovered the lead almost immediately through ClaudioPizarro and a Diego half-volley followed by an Aaron Hunt blastfrom outside the area made it 4-1.
Hoffenheim got one back before half-time via a 25-metre freekick from Sejad Salihovic and Vedad Ibisevic made it 4-3 fromthe penalty spot just past the hour mark.
Almost immediately Werder had Per Mertesacker sent off forbringing down Ibisevic and Marvin Compper headed in theequaliser with 20 minutes to go.
That was plenty of time for a grand finale and it came whenOzil clattered in a long-range shot for his second of the game. |
