**Trim** · 26-01-2007, 09:32 PM

F*ckkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
I can't believe it!
Never expected Frei would cause so much damage to us.
It's the 5th loss. Now Werder and Schalke can move to 6 points league if they win tomorrow, and Stuttgart can put us down in 4th place if they win.

**Oliver_Kahn** · 26-01-2007, 09:36 PM

Terrible match, I was hopping for a 3-0 win after reading Rober's comments.

**Trim** · 26-01-2007, 09:44 PM

It was very poor man.
Kahn's performance was poor, the whole defence performance was poor, Midfield sucked completely, Attack the same. Can't really say which one played the best tonight. Basically everyone sucked.
The subs were unnoticed at all. Demichelis, Podolski and Scholl didn't do anything at all.
I'm very pissed. Pissed at the 2 goals we conceded for two minutes, more then im pissed at the players poor performance. SMH.

The second half of the Bundesliga campaign began badly for Bayern on Friday after two lapses in concentration allowed Dortmund to make off with the points.

Some 80,708 paying customers braved freezing temperatures and intermittent wet snow, arriving with ironic good timing for the match marking the end of the winter break, to pack the majestic Signal Iduna Park to capacity.

The vast crowd saw Daniel van Buyten cancel out Alexander Frei's opener midway through a first half of fluctuating fortunes, although the champions looked increasingly comfortable and took the lead when Roy Makaay pounced on a defensive mix-up three minutes before the break.

Lapses in concentration

There was nothing in the first ten minutes after the restart to suggest Bayern would relax their grip on the game, but the match was turned on its head once again when Frei and Brazil enforcer Tinga struck twice in two minutes on the hour to leave the Reds reeling.

Coach Felix Magath threw on Lukas Podolski and Mehmet Scholl in a bid to salvage something from the match, but the Reds lacked the creativity to create much against the packed home defence.

The result is a blow to Bayern's hopes of reeling in joint leaders Bremen and Schalke immediately after the league restart, as the best the champions can hope for by the end of the weekend is to remain only three points adrift of top spot.

Surprise start for Ali

As is his wont, Magath confounded pre-match expectations with a minor selection surprise as Mark van Bommel began in the holding role with Ali Karimi handed a start on the left of midfield, a fitting reward for the Iran star's fine form in the Reds' winter friendlies.

The champions otherwise lined up as expected with fit-again Willy Sagnol at right-back, Lucio alongside Van Buyten at centre-half, and Claudio Pizarro partnering Makaay up front.

Daniel's second of the season

Oliver Kahn won the toss and chose to play the first half with his back to the hostile 27,000 home loyalists thronging the largest standing terrace in European football. The hotheads who elected to pelt the Bayern skipper with bananas fortunately caused nothing more than a seven-minute delay before newly-appointed FIFA referee Manuel Gräfe whistled proceedings underway.

The incident appeared to affect the visitors more than the home side as Borussia made much the brighter start. Kahn completed a routine take from Frei's early drive, but the keeper was powerless to stop the Swiss international rising above Philipp Lahm to convert Dede's 12th minute cross after the long-serving Brazilian escaped into acres of space behind Sagnol.

Juventus-bound Hasan Salihamidzic snatched at Bayern's first real chance at midway through the first half, but the visitors had settled now and Van Buyten doubled his tally for the season when he stabbed home Sagnol's curling free-kick after 25 minutes.

Roy pounces

Bastian Schweinsteiger arrowed a cross-cum-shot across the face of BVB keeper Roman Weidenfeller's goal and Lucio fired over after the shot-stopper flapped at a corner, before Kahn dived to beat out Florian Kringe's header with the sides in sparring mode.

The men in red still deserved their half-time lead, although Makaay's 100th scorer point (72 goals, 28 assists) in his 113th Bundesliga appearance owed much to a schoolboy howler in the home defence as Weidenfeller and young centre-back Markus Brzenska dithered fatally over an innocuous enough Salihamidzic centre.

Two minutes of madness

Pizarro speared a drive across goal as Munich began the second half firmly in the driving seat, but the double winners inexplicably relinquished the initiative and Frei levelled from Dede's cross after 57 minutes in a carbon copy of the opening goal.

Worse was to come less than two minutes later when Bayern failed to clear their lines from a corner, allowing Frei's header to land at Tinga's feet just a yard or two from goal, the Brazilian gleefully prodding his side into an unlikely lead with an hour played.

Magath sent on Podolski for the injured Karimi and introduced Mehmet Scholl in place of Van Bommel with the Dutch hard man in serious danger of a second booking, but Dortmund pulled men back deep and Bayern found chances hard to create in a restart to the league campaign no-one in Bavaria wanted.

Reaction to Dortmund v Bayern

Magath: Not the outcome we were looking for

Bayern began their quest to reel in the Bundesliga's top teams in the second half of the campaign with an eminently avoidable defeat in Dortmund on Friday, after seemingly cruising at 2-1 up with just over half an hour to play. "I think Borussia played with more passion than we did," coach Felix Magath reflected ruefully afterwards.

Reaction to Dortmund v Bayern

Felix Magath: "Obviously, it's not the outcome we were looking for. I think Borussia simply played with more passion than we did, and were more determined to win. We thought we could simply pass our way to victory but it wasn't enough. Frei, who's a lot shorter than our central defenders, scored twice with his head, and that shouldn't be happening. It's a setback for us, but it's yet more evidence that a good mid-season programme doesn't guarantee points. There's no need for us to give up on the title, there are still 16 games to play. But we've got to learn you don't win the league just b playing pretty football."

Philipp Lahm: "We prepared well in the winter and we were up for it, but we couldn't turn it on when it mattered. We've turned the match around from 1-0 down, and we can't be losing the game from being 2-1 up. That's definitely a setback. We wanted to send out a signal, but we've failed."

Jurgen Rober (Dortmund coach): "What a game. We dominated the first 15 or 20 minutes, but we let them seize the initiative and went 2-1 behind. But we've come back to beat Bayern in front of our fantastic home support. You can't ask for much more. What matters is for the team to battle away, and after that they're capable of excellent football."

Christoph Metzelder (Dortmund captain): "We've set our sights high for the rest of the season, but it's fantastic that it's started as well as this. You have to say only a good team comes back from 2-1 down against Bayern. I'm proud of what we've achieved today. We played some tremendous football at times, we fought, we ran, we were tactically better and better as it went on, so it's a tremendous result."
