Miroslav Klose was the match-winner for FC Bayern München as two goals in the final three minutes ensured his side came from behind to beat BV Borussia Dortmund 3-1 and climb up to second in the Bundesliga.
Early opener
Ninth-placed Dortmund stunned the home side after two minutes when Nelson Valdez opened the scoring with a curling effort from the edge of the area, though Zé Roberto restored parity midway through the half, pouncing on a rebound after Roman Weidenfeller had saved from Franck Ribéry.
Clinical Klose
The visitors appeared to have ground out a draw only for Klose to capitalise on a poor Felipe Santana clearance with three minutes left then tap in the final goal after a cross from Ribéry. The victory ensured Bayern closed to within a point of leaders TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, who drew 1-1 at bottom side VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday.
Rangelov impact
The day's other match provided relegation respite for FC Energie Cottbus as they climbed out of the bottom three with a 3-1 success at home to Hannover 96. Dimitar Rangelov scored in either half while Leon Andreasen was sent off moments before the second of those strikes. Stanislav Angelov wrapped up the victory to leave Energie 15th, above Karlsruher SC on goal difference, with Hannover two places higher.
