Mario Goetze scored to give defending champion Borussia Dortmund a 1-0 win at Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich to cut their gap in the standings to two points on Saturday.

Goetze scored in the 65th minute, when the outstanding Shinji Kagawa flicked the ball toward him and over the unsighted Jerome Boateng, allowing the 19-year-old playmaker to prod it past Manuel Neuer from 10 meters.

Bayern winger Arjen Robben had little effect in only his third league start.

Mario Gomez had a penalty appeal waved away in the 86th, and another striker, Nils Peterson, was blocked out for a corner two minutes later.

Franck Ribery went agonizingly close to equalizing in injury time, but desperate defending kept Bayern at bay.
