Bayern wins, Dortmund loses in Bundesliga
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 12 - 2012

FRANKFURT — Bayern Munich won 2-0 in Augsburg to extend its lead in the Bundesliga as defending champion Borussia Dortmund went down 3-2 with 10 men at home against Wolfsburg Saturday.
Dortmund and its 80,000 fans were left fuming at FIFA referee Wolfgang Stark, who sent off defender Marcel Schmelzer in the first half and awarded a penalty to Wolfsburg, which also had reason to complain.
Goals from Thomas Mueller and Mario Gomez helped to lift Bayern 14 points ahead of Dortmund.
Bayern is also 11 points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, which plays on Sunday in Hannover.
Vedad Ibisevic scored a hat trick for Stuttgart to beat Schalke 3-1.
Freiburg beat Greuther Fuerth 1-0 and Nuremberg blanked Fortuna Duesseldorf 2-0 in other matches.
Philippines holds Singapore
Goalkeeper Eduard Sacapano's performance glossed over Philippines' defensive frailties in a goalless draw against Singapore in the first leg of the AFF Suzuki Cup semifinal Saturday.
The partisan crowd at Manila's Rizal Memorial Stadium watched anxiously as Sacapano pulled off a number of first-half saves to thwart three-time champions Singapore.
Playing their first home match in the tournament's history, Philippines dished out a vastly improved performance in an eventful second half even though they could not break the stalemate.
Espanyol concedes a draw
Struggling Espanyol squandered a chance to climb out of the relegation places when it conceded a goal in added time to draw 2-2 at home to 10-man Sevilla in La Liga Friday.
The match at Espanyol's Cornella El Prat stadium in Barcelona was an unappealing spectacle littered with fouls and was a reminder how far the two clubs have fallen since they met in the final of the UEFA Cup in 2007.
Joan Verdu put the home side ahead from the penalty spot in the 13th minute before Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic netted a 24th-minute penalty of his own after a Cristian Stuani foul on Geoffrey Kondogbia.
Sevilla was reduced to 10 men six minutes before halftime when Jose Antonio Reyes picked up a harsh second yellow card after the referee ruled he had taken a free kick without waiting for the whistle.
Simao stole in moments after coming off the bench to nod a Mubarak Wakaso corner past Diego Lopez in the 60th minute to restore Espanyol's lead before another substitute, Alvaro Negredo, levelled for Sevilla for a second time with a 91st-minute header. — Agencies
