BERLIN -- Unbeaten Bayern Munich defeated visiting Hamburger SV 3-1 for the Bundesligas unofficial title of "autumn champion" on Saturday, while Borussia Dortmund could only draw 2-2 at Hoffenheim. http:///...ton-panthers-jersey/ . Goals from Mario Mandzukic in the 42nd minute and Mario Goetze 10 minutes later put Bayern in a comfortable position before Hamburg striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga scored with three minutes remaining. Xherdan Shaqiri scored in injury time to ensure Bayern won its 950th Bundesliga game and its last of the year. The side will next appear in the Club World Club semifinals in Morocco. Dortmund came from two goals down at Hoffenheim, but missed a host of chances as it fell 12 points off the pace. Also, Hannover came from three goals down to draw 3-3 with Nuremberg, Augsburg defeated Eintracht Braunschweig 4-1 and Borussia Moenchengladbachs six-game winning streak came to an end in a 0-0 draw at Mainz. "We can live with it," Moenchengladbach coach Lucien Favre said. Wolfsburg defeated Stuttgart 3-1 at home in the late match, the latest Bundesliga game to feature a goal-line incident. With the game still scoreless, Stuttgarts Timo Werner was denied a goal when Robin Knoche cleared off the line. TV replays appeared to show the ball crossing the line but, despite Stuttgarts furious protests, it wasnt given. Wolfsburg went 2-0 up through free kicks from Ricardo Rodriguez and Diego in the 38th and 53rd respectively, four minutes before Werner pulled one back with a powerful volley. Ivan Perisic effectively dashed Stuttgarts hopes in the 78th when he scored at the second attempt after Ulreich saved his first effort. Bayern is the first Bundesliga side to rack up 44 points from its first 16 games, while its unbeaten run of 41 games is a league record. With his eye on the upcoming trip to Morocco, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola opted to leave Franck Ribery and David Alaba on the substitutes bench. Hamburg, which had conceded 20 goals in its previous three league visits to Munich, made the better start before Bayern gradually assumed control. Toni Kroos unlocked the Hamburg defence with a brilliant ball over the top for Rafinha to cross for Mandzukic, who scored with a helpful shove on Jonathan Tah. There was no disputing the quality of Goetzes fourth league goal of the season. The Germany midfielder controlled Thiago Alcantaras pass with his first touch on the volley, then swiveled to dispatch the ball inside the left post with his next. Lasoggas fine strike under the crossbar injected some interest in the closing minutes, before Shaqiri held off a defender and fired inside the near post to remove any doubt. "Now we fly to Morocco to win the last tournament of the year," said Guardiola, who has made the most successful start as a coach in the Bundesliga. Dortmund had a goal ruled out early on for offside in Sinsheim, where Sven Schipplock chipped Dortmund goalkeeper Mitch Langerak to celebrate his Hoffenheim contract extension with the opening goal in the 18th. Roberto Firmino played the final pass in a well-worked counterattack. Hoffenheim was more efficient and Kevin Volland made it 2-0 in the 37th. A mistake from Hoffenheim goalkeeper Jens Grahl, when he dropped a simple corner and Jannik Vestergaard failed to clear, allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to reply for Dortmund in the 44th. Lukasz Piszczek equalized in the 67th. Henrikh Mkhitaryan should have scored minutes later, and Grahl deflected Lewandowskis effort onto the post, before Volland missed a great chance to win it at the other end. "In the end a win wouldnt have been undeserved," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "But we could also have lost."Nuremberg looked set for its first win in the Bundesliga this season when Adam Hlousek scored with a deflected shot in the 30th, Josip Drmic rounded the goalkeeper in the 38th, and Per Nilsson scored with a header three minutes later. But Leonardo Bittencourt pulled one back on the hour, and Mame Biram Diouf scored twice with three minutes remaining as Nurembergs Bundesliga record 16-game run without a win continued. Nurembergs players were particularly aggrieved by Dioufs first goal, which TV replays showed was offside. "The referee decided the game. I cant put it into words," Nuremberg goalkeeper Raphael Schaefer said. "You cant make such a mistake. The referee brought Hannover back into the game with this wrong call." Braunschweig remains rooted to the bottom after the promoted sides 12th defeat of the season. "Our fans patience is now depleted. We have to prepare for stormy times," Braunschweig coach Torsten Lieberknecht said. http:///...min-panthers-jersey/ . The 27-year-old Scrivens will be joining his third NHL club since signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent in 2010. The move also reunites with him with head coach Dallas Eakins from their time together with the American Hockey Leagues Toronto Marlies. http:///...ers-panthers-jersey/ . "I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. http:///...own-panthers-jersey/ . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead.TORONTO -- The lesson for the Toronto Marlies on Friday was never take a teams record for granted. Following back-to-back wins against the Western Conference-leading Grand Rapids Griffins, the Marlies found themselves over confident against the Syracuse Crunch on Friday and fell 6-3 in American Hockey League play. The Crunch, 11th in the Eastern Conference, entered Fridays action having won just twice in their previous 10 games. "We probably overlooked them and maybe looked at their record the last little bit, but theyre a team of winners," said Toronto forward Troy Bodie. "That team won the Calder Cup two years ago, they were two wins away from winning it last year and thats a team you cant take lightly." Vladislav Namestnikov scored twice and Brett Connolly chipped in with a goal and two assists for the Crunch (14-14-4) while Cedric Paquette and Pierre-Cedric Labrie each scored once. Trailing 2-0 in the second period, Syracuse battled back to score five unanswered goals and take a three-goal lead. "Puck management is everything," said Marlies coach Steve Spott. "We turned it over, its 2-2 and then its anybodys game. You have to manage the puck properly, the neutral zone at this level is so important. We turned over the puck on their first goal in the neeutral zone. http:///...son-panthers-jersey/. That got them back in the hockey game." Carter Ashton scored shorthanded at 14:24 of the first and Andrew Crescenzi at 5:03 of the second period to put Toronto (18-11-3) ahead 2-0. Ashtons shorthanded goal was the Marlies fifth of the season. "I thought our first 20 minutes was great, we had four 2-on-1s and a breakaway for five quality chances that we didnt capitalize on and thats where youve got to make hay," said Spott. "We allowed them to stay in the game, (but) give Syracuse credit. They hung in and hung in and they capitalized on our mistakes." The win helps Syracuse avoid its third straight loss. Mike Duco had the other goal for the Marlies, who lost for the first time in three outings. "What bothers me more than anything was our push back, we didnt have that push back or that edge here tonight," said Spott. "The nice thing is, Ive got healthy bodies and well re-arrange the line-up for (Saturday) afternoon." Kristers Gudlevskis made 32 saves for his seventh win of the season while Torontos Drew MacIntyre stopped 31 shots.
