Beier late show sends Dortmund top of Bundesliga
BERLIN: Maximilian Beier scored in the 80th minute to send Borussia Dortmund top of the Bundesliga after a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
Maximilian Beier scored in the 80th minute to send Borussia Dortmund to the top of the Bundesliga following a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. The narrow win marked Dortmund's first league triumph since mid-September and put them three points clear at the top of the table. Niko Kovac's side can be overtaken by Bayern Munich with a win at Freiburg on Sunday, though Kompany is hospitalized after collapsing at training on Friday due to a mystery virus.
Kovac said, "We've got a great team. Those who aren't playing from the start, they're the finishers. They're the ones who close out the match, who decide things." Beier was substituted on for the ineffective Fabio Silva with 22 minutes remaining and curled in the winning goal from just inside the box.
