BERLIN — Champion Bayern Munich rode its luck to beat Hanover 96 2-0 Saturday while the club's former player Luiz Gustavo was sent off again for VfL Wolfsburg in his new team's 3-1 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen. Kevin-Prince Boateng's first goal for Schalke 04 earned a 1-0 win at Mainz 05 and Tobias Werner netted a stoppage-time goal to give Augsburg a 2-1 home triumph over second from bottom Freiburg which is still without a Bundesliga victory this season. Vaclav Kadlec's double helped Eintracht Frankfurt win 3-0 at Werder Bremen which had Franco Di Santo sent off after 26 minutes for a dangerous high challenge which left Bastian Oczipka's face splattered with blood. Unbeaten Bayern has 13 points from a possible 15. The old Arjen Robben-Franck Ribery partnership was involved in both their goals, with Mario Mandzukic stroking home the first and Ribery sidefooting the second. Coach Pep Guardiola again fielded captain Philipp Lahm in a new defensive midfield role rather than his usual right back position. Bayern, which smashed 11 goals past Hanover in their two league meetings last season, was unimpressive in the first half and could easily have been one goal and one man down at halftime. Werder slumped to its third defeat in a row in a match that was effectively settled after 34 minutes when Kadlec gave Eintracht a 2-0 lead. A miserable day for the home team was completed when Austria defender Sebastian Proedl turned the ball into his own net in the 77th minute. — Reuters
