Dortmund moves into top four

Sat 13th, March 2010

Bochum, Germany (Sports Network) - A pair of late goals from Lucas Barrios helped Borussia Dortmund claim a 4-1 win at Bochum on Saturday, helping the team move into the top four in the Bundesliga table.

An own goal from Bochum's Marcel Maltritz put the hosts behind, and they fell further back when Mohamed Zidan doubled the lead for Dortmund nine minutes later.

Milos Maric was hit with a red card for Bochum before halftime, but they still managed to pull a goal back early in the second half through Lewis Holtby. However, Barrios secured the win for the visitors with two goals in a three- minute span to help his team move past Hamburg and to within five points of third-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

Bochum remains four points above the bottom three as they are now winless in their last four games.

Dortmund came within inches of opening the scoring in the 12th minute when Nuri Sahin headed the ball off the post, but his free kick six minutes later led to Dortmund taking the lead as his shot deflected off of Maltritz and flew into the net.

Jakub Blaszczykowski set up Dortmund's second goal when he worked his way down the right wing and crossed for Zidan to fire home from just inside the penalty area.

Maric was red-carded six minutes later for a foul on Blaszczykowski, but the home side managed to pull to within a goal in the 53rd minute when a through ball from Mimoun Azaouagh allowed Holtby to get behind the Dortmund defense and fire a shot between the legs of goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller.

However, Barrios put the game away in the 74th minute when he picked up a rebound from a Tamas Hajnal shot and tapped it into the empty net before adding another three minutes later.

Bayern Munich needed two goals from Arjen Robben in the final 15 minutes to get past Freiburg, 2-1, a result that takes Bayern back to the top of the league, while two goals from Edin Dzeko helped Wolfsburg cruise to a 4-0 win over Monchengladbach.

Hannover downed Eintracht, 2-1, Angelos Charisteas scored in stoppage time as Nurnberg beat Hertha Berlin, 2-1, while 10-man Mainz managed to get a 1-0 win over Koln as Andre Schurrle scored in the second half.
