During the thirteenth round of matches in the central German "Bundesliga" championship played on Saturday, defending champions Dortmund's "Borussia" football players managed to beat league leaders Bayern Munich away.
The only goal of the match came in the middle of the second half when Mario Gotze sent the ball into the net after a mistake by the home defenders.
By securing this important victory, Jurgen Klopp's charismatic team reduced their gap to the 'Bavarians' at the top of the table to just two points.
"Gladbach" climbed to third place in front of their home fans, surprisingly crushing Bremen's "Werder" team easily with a score of 5-0.
In another match, Schalke defeated Nurnberg 4-1 at home, and the Cologne - Mainz duel, as [link="http://eurofootball.com/index.php?page=news&id=25444"]reported[/link], did not take place due to the referee's suicide attempt.
