Darida rescues point for Hertha in Frankfurt

Midfielder Vladimir Darida rescued a point for Hertha Berlin with the late equaliser in their 1-1 Bundesliga draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

Frankfurt captain Alexander Meier, the Bundesliga's top scorer last season, gave the hosts the lead midway through the first half.

Hertha should have equalised before the break as striker Vedad Ibisevic headed onto the post, then fired over the bar.

But they finally drew level on 82 minutes when substitute Alexander Baumjohann chested the ball through to Darida and the ex-Freiburg attacking midfielder slammed his shot past Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.

The point leaves Hertha sixth and Frankfurt 10th in the table.

With second-placed Borussia Dortmund hosting Darmstadt on Sunday evening, defending champions Bayern Munich took the chance to go five points clear on Saturday with a 3-0 win at Mainz as Robert Lewandowski's goal haul continued.

The Poland hot-shot took his tally to 101 Bundesliga goals and has now scored 10 goals in just six league games this season.

Having sent German league records tumbling last Tuesday with five goals in just nine minutes after coming the bench in the 5-1 rout of Wolfsburg, the 27-year-old claimed two more against Mainz before Bayern host Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Lewandowski marked his 100th Bundesliga goal by heading Kingsley Coman's cross inside the far post on 51 minutes and pulled up his shirt to reveal a T-Shirt which stated: "100".

"The T-Shirt was my idea, I didn't know if I'd score today, but you always have to think positively, which is why I had it made," he told reporters.

An Arturo Vidal pass then put Lewandowski in behind the defence to round the goalkeeper for his 101st on 63 minutes.

France Under-21 winger Coman grabbed Bayern's third five minutes later with a simple tap in from a Douglas Costa cross.

Schalke remain third after Germany Under-21 attacking midfielder Leroy Sane scored for his third game in succession to seal Saturday's 1-0 win at Hamburg with a superb strike on the hour.

Bayer Leverkusen, who play European champions Barcelona away on Tuesday, romped to a 3-0 win at Werder Bremen with goals by Swiss forward Admir Mehmedi, winger Kevin Kampl and Germany Under-21 talent Julian Brandt.

Wolfsburg, who play Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday in the Champions League, dropped more points in a 1-1 draw at home to bottom side Hanover to stay fourth.

Bas Dost's header was cancelled out by Japan midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake's superb volley on 57 minutes to leave Wolves fourth in the table.

Borussia Moenchengladbach, who host Manchester City on Wednesday, picked up their second win since Lucien Favre's shock resignation last Sunday with a 3-1 victory at VfB Stuttgart.

The goals came from Granit Xhaka, a Christian Gentner own-goal and Raffel's late effort afer Daniel Ginczek slotted a 40th-minute penalty for Stuttgart.

Hoffenheim climbed to 15th with a 3-1 win at Augsburg as Germany international Kevin Volland scored twice, including a second-half penalty.
