BERLIN -- League leader Bayern Munich won 2-0 at Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday as the Bundesliga resumed after a five-week winter break. Mario Goetze opened the scoring in the seventh minute, when he was left in space to dispatch the ball first time inside the far post after Thomas Muellers cut-back from the right. Goetze had grazed the outside of the post just a minute before, when he did well to flick the ball over a defender. Mueller made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the 54th, after Granit Xhaka was penalized for using his arm in a goalmouth scramble. Marc-Andre ter Stegen had just pulled off two fine reflex saves to deny Goetze. Moenchengladbach, previously unbeaten at home, twice struck the post -- through Max Kruse in the 40th after a quick throw-in, and then in the 64th, when Patrick Herrmann let fly from a difficult angle. "Bayern were simply better than we were today," said Ter Stegen, who had more touches of the ball than any other Moenchengladbach player. "When things are going well for Bayern its nearly impossible." Bayern stretched its league record unbeaten run to 42 games, and opened up a 10-point lead over Bayer Leverkusen ahead of the rest of the weekends games. Bayern, the defending champion, still has to play its game in hand at Stuttgart on Wednesday. "If we keep playing like this well be German champions," Bayern president Uli Hoeness said. Mario Mandzukic was left out the visitors squad. Sporting director Matthias Sammer said before the game that the Croatian striker hadnt been training well enough. "I heard he wasnt training well, but I hope its behind us next week, because we need Mario for the important games this season," said Hoeness, who said he didnt know if Robert Lewandowskis signing from Borussia Dortmund for next season had had an effect. Guardiola wouldnt be drawn on Mandzukics omission. "What happens in the team I discuss in the training room, not with the media," Guardiola said. Franck Ribery and Javi Martinez had also been left out, with back and ankle problems respectively. Зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы увидеть ссылку! .

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, This may sound like a silly question but Im watching Anaheim and Vancouver Monday night and during a stoppage of play, I noticed that when the linesman Brian Mach No. 78, had gone over to help Eddie Lack with a small equipment issue with his chest protector - his fight strap was undone! I thought jerseys must be "tied down" properly at all times. Does this rule not apply to goalies? Thanks for all you do - the best to ever ref the NHL!Rachel Tilton Hi Rachel: Thank you for the kudos. All players of each team must be dressed uniformly with approved design and color of their team uniform. Altered uniforms of any kind, i.e. Velcro inserts, over-sized jerseys, altered collars, etc., will not be permitted. Any player or goalkeeper not complying with this rule shall not be permitted to participate in the game. A players jersey must be "tied down" properly at all times as per rule 9.3. It is very difficult to detect if a player is not properly tied down unless he becomes involved in an altercation. The only time that a penalty applies to a player not properly tied down is if he engages in a fight and his jersey is removed compleetely off his torso, in which case a game misconduct is assessed (46.dddddddddddd3). The exception to this application is when the opponent has been identified as the instigator; a game misconduct shall not be assessed regardless as to whether or not the player (non-instigator) was properly tied down. I have seen players who do not expect to fight (typically skilled players) participate in the game without tying down their jerseys. While this makes little sense, it their prerogative as it is next to impossible for the referee to detect (goalkeeper included). Specific to goalkeepers no inserts or additions are to be added to the standard goalkeeper-cut jersey as produced by the manufacturer unless approved by the League. In addition goalkeepers are not allowed any "tying down" of the sweater at the wrists if it creates a tension across the jersey such that a "webbing effect" is created in the armpit area. No other tie downs are allowed that create a webbing effect." The length of a jersey is illegal if it covers any area between the goalkeepers legs. In short, any excessive material that would provide the goalkeeper with added coverage of his net is not permitted. Unless a goalkeeper intended to fight during the game he would likely not snap the tab on the back of pants. ' ' '
