Dortmund sink Bayern 1-0 to end champions' unbeaten run

Borussia Dortmund ended Bayern Munich's unbeaten run, edging a 1-0 win on Saturday thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 12th goal of the season, cutting the gap between the champions and their biggest title rivals to three points. Gabon international Aubameyang made the most of Dortmund's frenetic start, tapping in an 11th-minute assist from Mario Goetze, who was facing his former club for the first time since his move in the close season. More than a quarter of the game had gone before Bayern, who drop to second in the Bundesliga, three points behind new leaders RB Leipzig, landed a shot on goal, but they were in command for the rest of the half, although they failed to beat keeper Roman Buerki. They had the ball in the net 10 minutes after the restart but Franck Ribery's clever flick was ruled offside. Xabi Alonso then hammered a shot against the crossbar as Bayern upped the pressure, virtually camped in the Dortmund half. Aubameyang should have made it two for the hosts in the 71st minute when he pounced on an Alonso mistake and charged into the box, but Manuel Neuer stood his ground and palmed his shot wide. Dortmund, whose win was only their second in the last nine Bundesliga encounters against Bayern, move up to third on 21 points, six behind Leipzig, who won 3-2 at Bayer Leverkusen on Friday night. Dortmund's Marc Bartra Aregall and Munich's Thomas Mueller in action. Marcel Risse scored a stoppage-time winner as Cologne came from a goal down to beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 2-1 and climb into fourth, ahead of Hertha Berlin, who dropped to fifth following a goalless draw at Augsburg. Both have also 21 points. Gladbach, Champions League competitors this season, made it six games without a win after Risse thundered in a shot from a free kick with seconds left to play. Bundesliga top scorer Anthony Modeste's 59th-minute goal -- his 12th of the campaign -- had cancelled out Lars Stindl's 32nd-minute lead for Gladbach. Hertha failed to gain more ground on the top spots in a lacklustre encounter against Augsburg. Schalke 04 earned a deserved 1-0 victory at VfL Wolfsburg thanks to Leon Goretzka's winner eight minutes from the end to leave the Wolves hovering two points above the relegation zone.RESULTS:Borussia Dortmund 1 Aubameyang 11   Bayern Munich 0SV Darmstadt 98 0   FC Ingolstadt 04 1 Hartmann 68VfL Wolfsburg 0   Schalke 04 1 Goretzka 82Borussia Moenchengladbach 1 Lars Stindl 32   Cologne 2 Modeste 59, Risse 90+1Mainz 4 Bungert 15, Malli 20 (pen), Bell 82, Onisiwo 90+5   Freiburg 2  Grifo 67, Petersen 85FC Augsburg 0  Hertha Berlin 0Standings P W D L F A Pts1 RB Leipzig 11 8 3 0 23 9 272 Bayern Munich 11 7 3 1 24 7 243 Borussia Dortmund 11 6 3 2 26 12 214 Cologne 11 6 3 2 18 8 215 Hertha Berlin 11 6 3 2 17 10 216 Hoffenheim 10 5 5 0 18 11 207 Eintracht Frankfurt 10 5 3 2 14 8 188 Mainz 11 5 2 4 21 20 179 Bayer Leverkusen 11 5 1 5 18 18 1610 Freiburg 11 5 0 6 15 20 1511 Schalke 04 11 4 2 5 14 12 1412 FC Augsburg 11 3 3 5 10 14 1213 Borussia Moenchengladbach 11 3 3 5 11 17 1214 VfL Wolfsburg 11 2 3 6 9 14 915 SV Darmstadt 98 11 2 2 7 10 21 816 Werder Bremen 10 2 1 7 12 27 717 FC Ingolstadt 04 11 1 2 8 8 21 518 Hamburg SV 10 0 2 8 4 23 2
