BERLIN -- Alexander Meier scored twice for Eintracht Frankfurt to beat Freiburg 2-1 on Sunday, extending the promoted sides unbeaten start to the Bundesliga. Max Kruse gave visiting Freiburg a 1-0 lead in the 50th minute, scoring with an angled shot from a rebound after Kevin Trapp had saved Sebastian Freis initial effort. Meier equalized in the 68th, receiving Bastian Oczipkas cross with his back toward goal and then spinning to strike it on the volley inside the left post. Then Oczipka delivered the corner for Meier to score his fourth goal of the season with a header five minutes later. Freiburgs Karim Guede earned a direct red in injury time for a dangerous challenge on Carlos Zambrano. Frankfurt has won five of its opening six games and is second in the standings behind Bayern Munich, which has a 100 per cent record. "It was hard for us after the hype of the last weeks," Frankfurt coach Armin Veh said. "You cant always play dazzling football, but then to win games like this is great." Wolfsburgs poor start to the season continued later Sunday with a 2-0 defeat to visiting Mainz, which made the most of just four shots on goal. Costa Rica defender Junior Diaz scored in the 37th, and Adam Szalai added another against the run of play 10 minutes later. Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath reacted during the interval by bringing on Ferhan Masani for his Bundesliga debut and Dutch striker Bas Dost. Vierinha shot over with teammates in a better position, Emanuel Pogatetz headed over from a corner, and then Vierinhas header was tipped over by Christian Wetklo. But for all its pressure, Wolfsburg was unable to find a response, with Wetklos save from Naldo in the final minutes indicative of a team out of luck. "I dont want to judge the season after the sixth game," Magath said after his sides fifth consecutive game without a win. "Im happy with the performance, but of course we have to improve in front of goal." Frankfurt should have taken the lead in the 27th, but Oliver Baumann denied Takashi Inui when the Japanese midfielder only had the goalkeeper to beat. Freiburg could have had more after Kruse scored, with Cedric Makiadi shooting over from a promising position, and Trapp denying Julian Schuster with a flying save in the 58th. "Its a bit difficult for me to find the words," Kruse said. "We played brilliantly for 50 minutes, didnt allow any chances. We have to work on it so we stay disciplined after scoring too." Both Inui and Freis had goals ruled out for offside at either end, before Meiers equalizer finally sparked the home side into life. cheap jerseys nfl . -- Greg Zipadelli met Danica Patrick just over a week ago, with very little time to prepare for their first test session together. cheap jerseys from china .

Andrew Nicholson, who hails from Mississauga, Ont., scored nine of his career-high 19 points in the fourth quarter and the Magic pulled away to hand the Phoenix Suns their seventh loss in a row, 98-90 on Sunday night. "I am going out there playing hard," he said. "They are just trusting me." The 6-foot-9 first-round draft pick from St. Bonaventure made 9 of 11 shots and grabbed nine rebounds, also the best of his young career. "Hes a scoring machine," teammate Glen Davis said. "He scored a bunch and today this is one of those games where you need that guy off the bench to step up and make sure that we get over the hump" Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn said he and the team are gaining confidence in Nicholson. "He is a scorer," Vaughn said. "He can do that so we are going to continue to work on other facets of his game and make him the best player he can be." J.J. Redick scored 17 of his 20 points in the first half for the Magic at the end of a 3-2 trip. Shannon Brown scored 17 and Jared Dudley 15 for the Suns, who were without starting point guard Goran Dragic due to illness. Phoenixs losing streak is its longest since 2004. "Its a real frustrating loss, a real disappointing loss," coach Alvin Gentry said. "You know, we are playing spot basketball. We play good for two minutes, then we play bad for seven, then were good for five and were bad for three. You just cant have any consistency and you just cant win any basketball games in this league when you play that way." Redicks only points of the second half came on a 3-pointer that put the Magic ahead for good, 78-75, with 10:13 remaining. Orlando used an 11-3 run to take its biggest lead of the game, 93-82, when Arron Afflalo made two free throws with 4:38 left. Dudley scored the first four in a 6-0 spurt that cut it to 93-88 on Marcin Gortats 8-foot bank shot 3:19 from the finish. But Nicholson came off the bench to sink a 144-footer that made it 95-88 with 1:50 to go, then Afflalo made a 20-footer to put Orlando ahead 97-88 with just 1:22 to go.dddddddddddd. The Magic led 53-48 at the break after neither team managed a double-digit advantage in the first half. Redick scored 17 in the half, making 5 of 10 shots, 3 of 6 3-pointers, in 19 minutes. He sank a 3, then followed with a four-point play -- when he was fouled by Wesley Johnson while sinking a 3 from the top of the key -- to tie it at 29-29 with 10:45 left in the half. Moments later, Johnson fouled him on an errant 3-point try. Redick made all three from the line to put the Magic up 35-34. The Magic extended it to 57-48 with the first two baskets of the second half. The Suns scored the next 11 to go up 59-57 on Gortats turnaround 13-footer. The run eventually reached 19-4 with Brown leading the way. He scored 10 in the outburst, including a pair of 3s. The last one came over the outstretched arms of 7-foot Nikola Vucevic to put Phoenix up 67-61 with 4:16 left in the third. Orlando scored the next eight, capped by Vucevics layup, to regain the lead, 69-67. Luis Scolas three-point play put Phoenix ahead 70-69, then Nicholsons 17-footer made it 71-70 Magic entering the fourth quarter. It was the second fourth-quarter flop in a row for Phoenix. The Suns were down by one after three against the Clippers in Los Angeles on Sunday, only to lose 117-99. "Its not anything complicated," Gentry said. "We just have to play better. We have to be able to rebound better, we have to make better basketball decisions and we have to stop turning the ball over."
