Bayern Munich maintained their perfect start
to the Bundesliga season with a 2-0 win away to Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Two
late goals from Luiz Gustavo and Mario Mandzukic sealed a sixth straight win
for Jupp Heynckes' side and stretch their lead over Frankfurt -- who play
Freiburg on Sunday -- to five points.
Gustavo's
81st minute effort gave Bayern the lead as the match looked to be heading for a
draw with Mandzukic scoring three minutes later to seal all three points.
"We were too
slow in the first half and my players tested my patience a bit. I had to find
hard words for my halftime talk and in the end it was enough for a win against
a tough Bremen side," Heynckes said.
Reigning
champions Borussia Dortmund routed Moenchengladbach 5-0 to rise to third in the
table.
Marco
Reus scored a brace against his old club with defender Neven Subotic, Ilkay
Guendogan and Jakub Blaszczykowski also getting on the score sheet.
Elsewhere,
Bayer Leverkusen are up to seventh in the table after beating Greuther Fuerth
2-0, while Stuttgart enjoyed their first win of the season, beating Nuremberg
by the same scoreline.
Hamburg
also claimed a valuable three points with a 1-0 win over Hannover.
Bottom-of-the-table
Augsburg played out a goalless draw at Hoffenheim in a game overshadowed by
concern for Boris Vukcevic.
The
22-year-old Hoffenheim midfielder is in a critical condition after his car
collided with a truck on Friday.
Both
players and fans at Saturday's match showed their support with banners and
t-shirts bearing Vukcevic's name.
