BERLIN -- Bayern Munich extended its lead in the Bundesliga to three points on Sunday after Mario Gomez scored twice in a 2-1 victory over 10-man Stuttgart and title rival Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 with Kaiserslautern. Gomez took his season tally to a league-leading 15 by scoring in the 13th and 57th minutes, after Christian Gentner had put the home side ahead in the sixth minute. Christian Molinaro was sent off in the 29th for a bad tackle on Arjen Robben, five minutes after earning his first yellow card for another lunge at the Dutchman. Gomez should have scored against his former side in the fifth minute, when Robben rounded the keeper before playing it across the empty goal, only for the 26-year-old striker to miss the ball. Gentner scored 40 seconds later when Martin Harnik nodded down Molinaros cross for the midfielder to volley in from 10 metres (yards). However, Gomez made amends when he got ahead of Molinaro to deflect Rafinhas cross past the helpless Sven Ulreich. Ulreich produced a stunning one-handed save to stop Thomas Muellers deflected shot in the 25th, and the visitors were given a boost when Molinaro was sent off four minutes later. Gomez eventually scored the goal which Bayerns pressure deserved when Philipp Lahm cut the ball back for the striker to drill a shot into the right corner. Robben twice fired over from a promising positions late in the last 15 minutes. Cacau almost equalized in the 81st, when he stretched to reach Daniel van Buytens header back to Manuel Neuer only for the effort to go agonizingly over. Bayern is top with 34 points, ahead of Dortmund and Schalke on 31 points, and fourth-place Borussia Moenchengladbach on 30. Olcay Sahans spectacular equalizer for Kaiserslautern at Dortmund earlier Sunday had given Bayern its chance to go three points clear, with fellow challenger Moenchengladbach having lost 1-0 to Augsburg on Saturday. Sahan struck his first ever Bundesliga goal on the hour mark with a crisp volley over his shoulder and into the right corner, cancelling out Shinji Kagawas 27th-minute opener and lifting Kaiserslautern out of the relegation zone to 15th. Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp brought on Mario Goetze six minutes later and the 19-year-old playmaker almost struck the winner in the 82nd with a fierce shot that hit the crossbar. It was the third time Dortmund struck the crossbar or post. "Kaiserslautern earned their luck," Klopp said. "If Sahan hadnt scored the goal of the month then it would have gone very well for us." Ilkay Guendogan set up Kagawa to dispatch a shot to the left corner despite being surrounded by Kaiserslautern defenders. The Japan midfielder fired narrowly wide three minutes later. Robert Lewandowski had earlier grazed the crossbar with a volley, and Mats Hummels went close again before the interval, when Sahan blocked the defenders header on the line. Sahan equalized when Lukasz Piszczek failed to clear Christian Tifferts hopeful cross, the 24-year-old catching the dropping ball cleanly to give Roman Weidenfeller no chance. Hummels hit the post with a header from a free kick in the 72nd, seconds before Kevin Trapp saved from Lewandowski in a one on one. Dortmund kept pushing for the winner, but Goetze -- who had been unable to start because of a groin problem -- was unlucky to see his dipping effort strike the crossbar. new balance 996 prezzo .

"I was ready to play the biggest game of my career," Backstrom said Sunday following the game. "And two-and-a-half hours before the game, I got pulled aside." Backstrom paused, choked with emotion and appeared to be on the verge of tears. "Its sad," he said. The Swedish hockey team, meanwhile, was simply mad at the International Olympic Committee. "We are all very upset," said Tommy Boustedt, the teams general manager. "Our opinion is that IOC has destroyed one of the greatest hockey days in Swedish history." Boustedt lashed out at the IOC about the timing of its decision, saying it was "political" because it would make news. The governing body refused to fire back. "We will not comment on any potential process until it has concluded," IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. The International Ice Hockey Federation is taking the silver medal that would have been given to Backstrom in the post-game ceremony to its offices in Zurich while it waits for the IOC to decide whether it can be sent to Backstrom, according to IIHF spokesman Adam Steiss. Backstrom was punished more than another player was in the same situation four years ago. While playing for Slovakia at the 2010 Olympics, defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky tested positive for the same banned substance -- pseudoephedrine -- and was only reprimanded by the IOC because it said he declared on his doping control form that he was taking the medication. Backstrom, likewise, said he hasnt hid the fact that he takes the substance that is banned by the IOC during competition and was told by his Olympic team doctor he could take one pill a day without possible penalty. He was tested Wednesday after helping the Swedes beat Slovenia in the quarter-finals. He wwas pulled out of Swedens locker room four days later, just two-plus hours before the Sochi Games finale, and was informed he couldnt play.dddddddddddd The Washington Capitals standout was supported by his Olympic team, NHL franchise, NHL Players Association and the IIHF. "I am convinced that Nicklas and the NHLPA will take this further," Boustedt said in Swedish during a news conference that lasted about 40 minutes. NHL deputy commissioner Bill Day issued a statement saying the substance Backstrom tested positive for is not on the leagues list of banned substances. "We do not anticipate there being any consequences relative to Nicklas eligibility," Daly said. The Capitals sent out a statement saying Backstrom has been taking the allergy medication intermittently for seven years, including this season, to cope with severe allergies. "The test was done on Wednesday and he was pulled out two hours before a game on Sunday, I think thats certainly flawed," NHLPA special assistant Mathieu Schneider said. Dr. Mark Aubry, chief medical officer of the IIHF, said Backstrom provided information correctly to the IOC about the medication he was taking. "He is the innocent victim of circumstances," Aubry said. Backstroms suspension from the gold-medal game may be a point of contention when the NHL and NHLPA negotiate with IOC about whether to let their players participate in the 2018 Olympics. He was listed in the team lineups distributed before the game, and his teammates later found out he wouldnt be with them on the ice. "Its too bad he couldnt play," Sweden winger Carl Hagelin said. "We lost a really good player." Backstrom is the sixth athlete to fail a doping test at the games. Five of the six, including Backstrom, tested positive for minor stimulants that are often found in food supplements. "They need examples to scare cheaters with, Nick is not one of them," Boustedt said. "And, thats why its awful." cheap nfl jerseys cheap soccer jerseys ' ' '
