BERLIN -- Mario Mandzukics first-half strike was enough for Bayern Munich to grind out a 1-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Mandzukic scored in the 13th minute with a fine volley from Thomas Muellers cross. "We didnt want to play nicely and celebrate football, but rather to get the second Bundesliga win of the season. We succeeded there," Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said. The home side was left to rue a disallowed goal from Alexander Meier before the break, with TV replays showing offside was the wrong call, though the Frankfurt midfielder may have touched the ball with his hand as he headed in Johannes Flums goalward effort. "I thought our time would come, if we didnt concede the second goal. Then we got a goal, at a very good time. It was a regular goal, but the linesman was against it," Frankfurt coach Armin Veh said. Also Saturday, Hoffenheim routed Hamburger SV 5-1 in Hamburg, Wolfsburg beat Schalke 4-0, Leverkusen won 1-0 at Stuttgart, Werder Bremen beat Augsburg 1-0, and Mainz won 2-1 at Freiburg. Borussia Moenchengladbach impressed with a 3-0 win over Hannover in the late game. Max Kruse opened the scoring in the 20th, and Christoph Kramer slid in ahead of two defenders for the second in the 53rd, when Kruses attempted chip rebounded off the post. Filip Daems sealed the result with a penalty in the 66th -- his 12th successful spot-kick from 12 in the Bundesliga. "Im happy, but its over now," Moenchengladbach coach Lucien Favre said. While Bayern equaled its club record of 27 consecutive Bundesliga games without defeat set in 1989, Pep Guardiolas side was fortunate to emerge with the win. Bastian Schweinsteiger did have the chance to seal it in the 89th, but was denied by Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. Then Srdjan Lakic rounded Manuel Neuer at the other end, only for Dante to clear off the line. Meier appeared to be hindered in the area by Jerome Boateng and Dante in injury time, but referee Peter Gagelmann waved away Frankfurts penalty claims. "Boateng pushes him in the back as hes running. Its clearly a penalty," Veh said. Bayern was more in control in the first half, when Mandzukic ensured the club scored for the 39th Bundesliga game in succession. Guardiolas influence could be seen in his sides set-up, with Schweinsteiger dropping very deep to initiate play and Bayern engaging in a short passing game. Arjen Robben came on for Mueller in the 74th and had a goal ruled out for offside shortly afterward in what was another close call. Mario Goetze remained on the bench and will need to wait for his Bundesliga debut for Bayern. "Its never easy after the international break. We only had three days. Still, we created a lot of chances. Im happy and 100 per cent satisfied," Guardiola said. Hamburg conceded an early goal for the second time in as many games when Roberto Firmino put Hoffenheim ahead in the fifth. Rafael van der Vaart equalized from the penalty spot in the 44th but the respite was brief. Kevin Volland put the visitors back in front in the 50th, Anthony Modeste capitalized on an error from Lasse Sobiech to make it 3-1 in the 67th, and he scored again in the 75th thanks to more lax defending, before Roberto Firmino completed the rout with his second in the 78th. "The defensive play was very, very, very bad," Hamburg coach Thorsten Fink said. "That was a textbook example of how not to do it. We dont need to sugarcoat anything, but we still have to look forward and win back the fans trust." Schalke striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar struck the post in the first half, but didnt emerge for the second due to a right knee injury. Robin Knoche scored after a Wolfsburg corner in the 55th, Vieirinha made it 2-0 with a fine strike in the 61st, Naldo scored in the 67th, and Stefan Kutschke completed the scoring in injury time. "After the first goal we just fell apart, so Im not at all happy with the game," Schalke coach Jens Keller said. "Im going to work with the team on Sunday. I cant just ignore it." Stuttgart defender Daniel Schwaabs own goal in the 42nd was enough for former side Leverkusen. "Altogether we werent rewarded for our efforts. Then to lose through such a stupid own goal is of course twice as bitter," Schwaab said. Mehmet Ekici scored in the 22nd as Bremen started the season with two wins for the first time since 2006. "Its still quite clear to us that we have a difficult year ahead of us," said Bremen coach Robin Dutt. Niki Zimling and Nicolai Mueller scored in the 64th and 68th for Mainz at Freiburg, three minutes before Sebastian Freis scored what proved to be just a consolation.

The pair skated alongside Milan Michalek for the teams first day of on-ice training and already the buzz is building as to what the trio could accomplish. All three players offer a different skill set as Michalek has great speed, Spezza has great vision and Ryan can finish. The question will be whether they can put all the pieces together. "I think theres the makings of a very good line and a line that can contend with anybody," said Ryan. "Were all pretty crafty with the puck so if things click right away it could be a very dangerous line and you hope it does." Ryan, 26, is a four-time thirty-goal scorer and offers Spezza a bona fide offensive right-winger for the first time since Dany Heatley, who had back-to-back 50-goal seasons playing with Spezza. Spezza said it will take time to get used to each other on the ice. "Theres no real rhyme or reason why you have chemistry with a guy other than you just feel each other out, you learn where each other goes and its not something that can really be forced either," said Spezza. "I think the more we play together, the more familiar well get and well figure out if our games mesh well." The 30-year-old Spezza played just five games last season before requiring back surgery for a herniated disc. He managed to return and play in three playoff games, but it was clear at the time that he was nowhere near fully recovered. After the playoffs it was disclosed that Spezza had torn the meniscus in his knee late in his rehab process, so he also had his knee scoped over the summer. "Im definitely 100 per cent right now, I feel really good," said Spezza. "I had a good off-season and it was nice to have a full summer of training and hopefully I can reap the rewards of it." Spezza is confident his back wont be a recurring issue, but says he will definitely be giving it greater attention. "You hope its done, but youre never out of the woods with a back injury. Its something Im going to have to stay on and make sure I keep up the regular routine.dddddddddddd I just have to be cognizant of my days off and taking rest when I need it, but for the most part I dont anticipate too many issues." Michalek missed 25 games last season with a knee injury that bothered him throughout the year. Instead of surgery, Michalek opted for biologic treatment by German-based doctor Peter Wehling. The 28-year-old is impressed with the results so far. "Ive been skating hard for a month and theres no problems," said Michalek. "Its holding up good so hopefully it stays like this." Michalek said if he remains on a line with Spezza and Ryan, he wont try to do anything special. "Ill just use my speed and go to the net and create some havoc in front of the net and help out defensively," he said. Ryan is well aware of the high expectations for the line, but isnt dwelling on it. "I think it will be in the back of my mind for a little while," he said. "Once you get out there you forget about those things and it just becomes a game and youre working with your teammates. Ill try to step away from it when I leave the rink as best I can and take it for what its worth." Ryan added he would likely be looking for that first goal early on just to eliminate some of the mental pressure. "Its important, you need to do it," he said. "I wont get frustrated if it doesnt happen early. Ill start to think about it and it will mount a little bit, but to get it out of the way and then take that sigh of relief and move forward is important." While he held off from making any bold predictions, Ryan admitted that ideally he would find himself in the 35-goal range while being a plus player this season. With goal scorers on either side, Spezza admitted he might have to be a little selfish at times. "I dont think Ive played a year of hockey where the coaches havent been on me to shoot the puck more," said Spezza. "Its already been mentioned to me and weve only been on the ice an hour and a half a Im a centreman, Im a distributor. Its how I play the game."
