BERLIN -- Defending champion Borussia Dortmund was held to a 3-3 draw by promoted Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday, while Bayern Munich set a Bundesliga record for the best start to a season after a 3-0 win against Wolfsburg. Sean Lee Black Jersey . Dortmund defender Lukasz Piszczek scored in the 24th and set up Marco Reus four minutes later, but Frankfurt pulled level in the second half with two goals in three minutes. Takashi Inui set up Stefan Aigner in the 49th and then equalized in the 51st with the visitors still reeling. Dortmund substitute Mario Goetze scored three minutes later, only for Frankfurt defender Anderson to level in the 73rd. Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp was sent to the stands in injury time "It was a deserved draw in a spectacular game," Klopp said. "It was a lot more spectacular than we wanted." Also Tuesday, Schalke beat Mainz 3-0 and Fortuna Duesseldorf won 2-0 at Greuther Fuerth. Bayern set a new league record with 17 goals scored and only two conceded in winning its first five matches. Former Bayern coach Felix Magath, now at Wolfsburg, could do little to stop his former sides blistering start, with the hosts forcing five corners inside the opening 10 minutes. Franck Ribery crossed for Bastian Schweinsteiger to open the scoring at the third attempt in the 24th -- the Germany midfielder having already twice hit the post. Bayern dominated the first half, with 15 efforts on goal compared to the visitors one. "It wasnt easy against Wolfsburg even if we dominated," Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes said. "The deal was only done after the second goal." Bayern forward Mario Mandzukic settled the issue against his former side with two goals within nine minutes. Xherdan Shaqiri did brilliantly to pick him out for his first in the 57th, before Philipp Lahm set up the Croats next. "We definitely could have scored more goals," Heynckes said. Bayern substitute Claudio Pizarro came on with 11 minutes remaining for the Peru strikers 337th Bundesliga appearance -- a record for a foreign player, one more than Ze Roberto of Brazil and Levan Kobiashvili of Georgia. Dortmunds 31-game unbeaten run was ended at Hamburger SV on Saturday, and Klopps side was eager to make amends at Frankfurt, the first promoted side to win its opening four Bundesliga games. Piszczek scored first when his shot was deflected by Bastian Oczipka and then Brazilian defender Anderson beyond the helpless Kevin Trapp in goal. Piszczek then cut the ball back behind the penalty area for Reus to crash his shot in off the post. "Theres an iron rule that says you dont concede on a counterattack when youre winning 2-0. Yet it happened to us," Klopp said. The outstanding Inui led the move, with Aigner cutting infield from the right and unleashing an unstoppable inside the left post, before poor defending allowed Inui to equalize with a header. Goetze, who replaced the injured Reus at the break, showed all his class to elude Anderson and poke the ball inside the far post. He had a great chance to put Dortmund 4-2 up, only to be denied by Trapp. Anderson blocked Kevin Grosskreutzs effort after Goetze had played the Dortmund winger through, and Anderson then equalized with a header from Oczipkas cross. In other close attempts: two Frankfurt defenders combined to keep Robert Lewandowski out, Goetze almost found a way through, and then Dortmund had the ball cleared off the line in the last minute. Klopp was sent to the stands as Frankfurt threatened to score a dramatic winner from a corner. "Dortmund were clearly the better team in the first half," Frankfurt coach Armin Veh said. "We were a little anxious. Id hoped that wed be a little cheeky. In the second half it was completely different, we played with unbelievable passion." Jefferson Farfans first-half penalty opened the scoring for Schalke, which had to wait until the 81st before Lewis Holtby finally sealed the result. Teemu Pukki came on with five minutes remaining to add some gloss to the score with his first goal of the season in the 89th. "Three points, wipe the mouth, we go on," said Schalke coach Huub Stevens. Unbeaten Duesseldorf remains the only side yet to concede a goal this season, and it claimed its second win of the campaign through first-half goals by Oliver Fink and Ken Ilso.

Jacques Villeneuve, the Quebec-born car-racing champion, is upset at a protest movement that has gone on for months and is now promising to turn up at Formula One Grand Prix events in Montreal all weekend. In a five-minute exchange with reporters Thursday, Villeneuve urged the protesters to go back to school. He suggested they were lazy. He called them an embarrassment to Canada -- especially to Quebec. He suggested they were badly raised, by parents who never learned to say, No. And he said they risked scaring away tourists and wealthy taxpayers, who would just pick up and invest elsewhere in a more stable climate. The student protest movement has received the enthusiastic endorsement of many Quebec celebrities and near-unanimous support from the artistic community. But the Quebec-born, Monaco-raised driver just might have become the most famous, most virulent new critic of the movement. "Its time for people to wake up and stop loafing about. Its lasted long enough," Villeneuve told reporters at a cocktail benefit that kicked off the four-day Grand Prix festivities. "We heard them. We listened. They should stop. Its costing the city a fortune. It makes no sense." As for their parents, Villeneuve said: "I think these people grew up without ever hearing their parents ever tell them, No. So thats what you see in the streets now. People spending their time complaining. Its becoming a little bit ridiculous. They spoke, we heard, and now its time to go back to school." He said that in a democracy, people can vote to turf governments, and speak their mind between elections to make themselves heard -- but they have to know when to give it a rest. "Thats what democracy is. We vote for people -- and if youre not happy, then you vote for other people the next time around. And if youre not happy you complain, they listen, and thats iit," he said. Miles Austin Jersey. "Same with your parents: Daddy, mommy, I dont like this. Well, go back to bed now." Villeneuve said he was raised to believe in hard work, and not imagine money will fall from the sky. He also compared the students to the London rioters last year and said they were "rebels without a cause." In the end, he said, the students are hurting themselves because theyre pushing for things that arent fiscally sustainable -- and theyll end up paying one day. Unfortunately, he said, if they keep it up there will be less taxpayers around to help foot the bill. "And where does the government get the money? From taxes, from selling stuff. The next thing they will say is, Well, take it from the rich," he said. "And thats when you have the rich moving to another country." The student protesters dismiss the idea that taxes would need to be raised to freeze or eliminate tuition -- which represents only a tiny fraction of the provincial budget and pales in comparison to the money spent on corporate subsidies. Scores of protesters demonstrated outside the cocktail event Villeneuve was attending, in the company of other racing figures and celebrities. It was a glitzy $1,000-a-plate fundraiser, with proceeds going to a local childrens hospital. Some protesters have promised to disrupt events throughout the Grand Prix weekend and even jam the metro leading to the race track on Sunday. Villeneuve, 41, won the 1997 Formula One world championship and received the adulation of local sports fans who feted his success with a roaring celebration before a Montreal Canadiens game. After several difficult seasons he left Formula One in 2005 and has since raced on other circuits. He said hes heard from people outside the country commenting on the student protests in Quebec -- but he said the opinion is ill-informed and based almost entirely on the one-sided take of protesters. -With files by Alexander Panetta ' ' ' |
