Last-minute goals take down Bayern Munich

Two late goals brought an almost certain victory by Bayern Munich to a crashing halt, as the team fell to Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Up until the final minutes of the hard-fought match, Bayern seemed set to take the game. But a goal from Frankfurt's Juvhel Tsoumou at 87 minutes, and another from Martin Fenin just a minute before the end of regulation time, gave Frankfurt the edge.

Bayern sit two points clear of second-place Schalke at 56 points, but Schalke can take the lead with a win against Hamburg on Sunday.

In Saturday's late game, Bayer Leverkusen failed to capitalize on a chance to lead the league after a crushing loss to Borussia Dortmund.

Dortmund's Lucas Barrios scored two in the second half, making him second only to Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling in league scoring. Dimitar Rangelov got in a late goal, ending the game at 3-0. With the loss, Leverkusen stay in third, three points behind the leaders.

In other Bundesliga matches on Saturday, Werder Bremen twice came from behind to beat Bochum 3-2, keeping their hope of European qualification alive.

Stuttgart blanked a struggling Hanover 2-0, Freiburg defeated Mainz 1-0 and Nuremberg drew 0-0 with Hoffenheim.

On Sunday, in addition to the Schalke-Hamburg game, Wolfsburg will play bottom club Hertha Berlin. In Friday's soccer action, Cologne drew 1-1 with Borussia Moenchengladbach.
