| BERLIN -- Hamburger SV held Bayern Munich to 0-0 in Josef Zinnbauers debut as coach, while Julian Draxler scored and got sent off on his 21st birthday for nine-man Schalke in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Schalke drew 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt, which also had a player sent off. Also, promoted Paderborn was provisionally top of the table after defeating Hannover 2-0. Elias Kachunga broke the deadlock in the 71st, then Moritz Stoppelkamp sealed the result deep in injury time with an audacious goal from 83 metres for a Bundesliga record. "I didnt know I could even shoot that far," said Stoppelkamp, who beat Greek defender Giorgos Tzavelas previous record on March 12, 2011 for Frankfurt against Schalke, by 10 metres. Mainz defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the late game, costing the visitors the chance to go top. Shinji Okazaki opened the scoring in the 66th when he slid in to convert Jairos cross from close range. Okazaki conceded a penalty three minutes later when Ciro Immobiles effort struck his arm, but Mainz keeper Loris Karius saved Immobiles spot kick. Matthias Ginters own goal made it 2-0 in the 74th, when he cut out Jairos cross for Dortmund loan player Jonas Hofmann, only to see the ball slip inside the left post. Dortmund substitute Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck the post in the last minute. Adrian Ramos, who missed a number of chances, struck it earlier. "We didnt start badly. We had one or two chances," said Ginter, who lamented his "stupid own goal." Hamburg coach Zinnbauer, who took over from the fired Mirko Slomka on Tuesday, earned the club its second point after its worst start to the Bundesliga in 51 years. Arjen Robben was due to start for Bayern but injured himself in the warm-up and was replaced by Thomas Mueller. The home side started well, closing down any space, and restricting Bayerns goal opportunities. With Hamburg in the ascendency after the break, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola sent on Xabi Alonso in the 53rd to assert control. The visitors then created their best chance of the game, when Jaroslav Drobny did well to save Philipp Lahms volley and David Alaba fired the rebound over. Guardiola sent on Mario Goetze and Robert Lewandowski for a final offensive push with less than half an hour remaining but neither side could make the breakthrough. "It wasnt easy to get into the game after the Champions League match against Manchester City," said Guardiola, referring to his sides late 1-0 win on Wednesday. "It was a bit better in the second half but unfortunately we didnt take our chances. We have to keep working now. Theres a tough time ahead of us until December." It was Bayerns second draw from four games, while Hamburg has yet to score this season. "Im proud of the team for pulling through the final 15 minutes," Zinnbauer said. "So a compliment to Mirko Slomka, who kept the team top-fit." In Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt midfielder Alexander Meier scored on the rebound from Ralf Faehrmanns save in the 15th and Marco Russ made it 2-0 when he eluded Schalke midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng and Christian Fuchs before shooting inside the far post. Eric Maxim Choupo-Motings calmly taken penalty gave Schalke a lifeline five minutes before the break. TV replays suggested it was a harsh decision, as Draxlers cross struck Slobodan Medojevics arm as the Frankfurt midfielder was falling. Draxler equalized five minutes after the restart. Boateng earned his second yellow card in the 61st, and 10 minutes later Draxlers birthday celebrations turned sour when he kicked out at Carlos Zambrano and earned his direct red card. Medojevics second yellow card -- his first was for the penalty decision -- eased the pressure on Schalke, which is still looking for its first win of the season. "The way the team came back was brilliant," said Schalke coach Jens Keller, whose side also came back to claim a draw at Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday. Augsburg defeated Werder Bremen 4-2 and Hoffenheim won 2-0 at Stuttgart, which is bottom of the table after four games. "Everyone in the stadium could see that the team fought, that they were better in previous games," Stuttgart coach Armin Veh said. 14:32ET 20-09-14 Parys Haralson Saints Jersey .

The Mercedes duo of three-time Canadian Grand Prix champion Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg has won all six races to start the season, finishing one-two in the last five. They will be the favourites again despite the close walls and hard braking on the 4.361-kilometre circuit. "I dont think it will be different from the other weeks before," a resigned Nico Hulkenberg of the Force India team said Thursday. The race weekend begins with practice on Friday, and qualifying on Saturday, before the grandstands on the island track across from downtown Montreal fill up on what is expected to be sunny, warm day for the 45th Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday. It will be first experience for Canadian fans of the quieter, more fuel-efficient 1.6-litre turbo engines introduced this year, which have dropped the formerly dominant Red Bull team down the grid and raised Mercedes AMG to near-invincibility. In the opening six events, Rosberg has two wins and finished second four times to lead drivers standings with 122 points. Hamilton has four wins and one second to sit second with 118 points. Next closest is Ferraris Fernando Alonso, a two-time world champion, with 61 points. Sebastian Vettel, the F1 champion the last four years with Red Bull, is sixth with 45. Some felt the peculiar Gilles-Villeneuve track, which features long straightaways leading into sharp turns, a hairpin and some tricky chicanes, might close the power gap on Mercedes. No such luck, said Hamilton. "Ill be guessing, but I dont feel that will be the case," the 29-year-old Briton said. "Were particularly strong in the straights, the Mercedes are, but I dont know. "Maybe well be surprised this weekend, but the long straights do suit us very well. We have a very good power unit in our engines. Mercedes has done the best job with the engines, so Renault and Ferrari would have had to have done an exceptional job coming into this weekend in that area to be able to keep up with us on the straights." The Mercedes supremacy is drawing comparisons to 1988, when the McLaren Honda team of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost won 15 of the 16 races on the schedule, with the Brazilian taking eight and Prost winning seven. "In a way Im honoured to hear those comparisons because that was an extremely high-level, big battle at the time,, but I leave it at that," said Rosberg.dddddddddddd. "I dont really compare myself to that era. I want to do my own thing." It seems the only thing that can stop Mercedes may be infighting between Hamilton and Rosberg, but even the tension that was building between them looks to have abated since a blow-up at Monaco two weeks ago, when Hamilton felt Rosberg cheated him of a chance to claim pole position. Hamilton tweeted recently "we spoke and were cool, still friends #noproblem." The Hamilton-Rosberg duo already has Mercedes 141 points clear of Red Bull and 162 points ahead of Ferrari in the constructors championship. Vettel has had bad luck in Canada in the past, but broke through last year when he cruised to win from the pole, finishing 14 seconds ahead of Alonso. Now hes grasping at any edge to stay competitive. "It will be difficult to match the Mercedes-powered cars down the straights," the German said. "There are also some corners here and weve been competitive in the past. "We were in a very good position in to win the race in 2011 and we won last year, so we have reason to be confident. But we know it could be a difficult weekend. "We know that the corners are very tricky and demanding here and you can make up a lot of time in the corners. Well try to do our best down the straights and try to do better than everyone else on the corners." Another leveller could be the infamous wall of champions, a concrete barrier at the chicane leading to the final stretch to the finish line. Over the years, some of the sports greatest drivers have crashed into it. Jenson Button of McLaren Mercedes is confident that even with the lighter back end on this years cars they should get through the turn OK. "Weve been driving these cars all year and if we can drive these cars around Monaco, I think well be all right around here," he said. The McLaren, Force India and Williams teams also use Mercedes engines, but none has put the package of engine and car together quite like Mercedes AMG. "In terms of the development of the car, it is working and were going in the right direction," said Button, the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix winner who has found himself battling just to get into the points by finishing in the top 10 this season. "Its tough. "When youve been fighting for wins and the team is used to fighting for wins, its difficult when you find yourself in this situation." cheap nfl jerseys authentic jerseys nfl wholesale wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
