BERLIN - Borussia Dortmund lost touch with
the Bundesliga leaders after surrendering a 2-1 lead and
suffering a 3-2 home defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
Borussia led 2-1 after 57 minutes with goals from Mats
Hummels and Argentina forward Lucas Barrios, his eleventh of the
season.
But the visitors, who had gone ahead after eight minutes
with a Benjamin Kohler header, levelled through Sebastian Jung's
deflected shot in the 65th minute before Alexander Meier pounced
on poor defending to fire the winner nine minutes later.
Borussia stayed fifth with 36 points, nine behind leading
pair Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, while Eintracht moved
up to seventh with 31 points.
Promoted Mainz maintained their unbeaten home record by
beating Borussia Moenchengladbach 1-0, Danish striker Bo
Svensson scoring the only goal against the run of play in the
42nd minute when he snapped up a rebound.
Mainz are eighth with 30 points.
