BERLIN -- Bayern Munich returned to the top of the Bundesliga on Saturday after coming from behind to beat Hoffenheim 2-1 away. Franck Ribery set up Thomas Mueller to score the winner from close range in the 75th minute after Hoffenheim had missed a host of chances to clear. Hoffenheim went in front through Niklas Suele in the 34th, only for Bayern to equalize five minutes later when Riberys free-kick was deflected in by Mario Mandzukic. "We drew on all what we could," Hoffenheim coach Markus Gisdol said. "But in the end we only gained prestige and not a point." The home side had been threatening to take the lead but ran out of steam after Mueller scored. The Germany forward missed a good chance to score again before Bastian Schweinsteiger squandered another opportunity when he shot straight at Hoffenheim keeper Koen Casteels. "It definitely wasnt our best performance but we won," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. "Im satisfied." It was Bayerns 36th consecutive game without defeat, matching Hamburger SVs 30-year-old Bundesliga record. Ribery extended his personal record unbeaten run to 40 games. The win keeps Bayern one point ahead of Borussia Dortmund, which provisionally claimed the lead Friday with a 6-1 rout of Stuttgart. "We wanted to stay top of the table. We managed that," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said. "And we reached a record that was thought to be for eternity. Now well try and build on it next week." Ten-man Freiburg won 3-0 at Nuremberg for its first victory of the season, while bottom side Eintracht Braunschweig surprised third-placed Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at home for only its second win. Domi Kumbela was the hero for Braunschweig, scoring from close range in the 81st minute to prompt wild celebrations among the promoted sides fans. "Our fans carried us to this win," Braunschweig coach Torsten Lieberknecht said. "I shouldnt pick any player out but our goalkeeper kept us in the game today." Lars Bender was sent off with a second yellow card in injury time, his first sending off in 116 Bundesliga games and two days after the midfielder extended his Leverkusen contract. Max Kruse scored twice as Borussia Moenchengladbach beat Hamburg 2-0 away for the sides first two back-to-back wins since February 2012, and Schalke defeated Hertha Berlin 2-0 away. Schalke striker Adam Szalai opened the scoring with a header from a corner in the 26th, and Julian Draxler wrapped up the win in injury time, after Hertha had missed a number of chances to equalize. "The loss feels very bad because we played a very good game over 90 minutes," Hertha coach Jos Luhukay said. "We had to score after the interval but were missing the necessary luck." In Hamburg, Kruse capitalized on a short back pass from Lasse Sobiech to round the goalkeeper and score from a difficult angle in the 23rd, and Sobiech was at fault again when Raffael easily dispossessed the defender to set up Kruses second in the 63rd. "The win is more important than my birthday, said Gladbach coach Lucien Favre, who turned 56. Rafael van der Vaart came closest for Hamburg after the break when his free-kick crashed back off the crossbar. "We lost against a good team but in my eyes we played the best game since I started here," said Hamburg coach Bert van Marwijk after his first defeat in five games. "We deserved at least a point." Nuremberg created the better chances in the other game but found Freiburg goalkeeper Oliver Baumann in inspired form after a disastrous performance in a 3-0 defeat by Hamburg the week before. "We had Olli Baumann, who was outstanding, and the luck that had been missing up to today," Freiburg coach Christian Streich said. Felix Klaus put the visitors ahead in the 57th, 12 minutes before Oliver Sorgs sending off for a second yellow card. Vladimir Darida made it 2-0 with a fine strike in the 79th and Admir Mehmedi completed the scoring two minutes from time. Eintracht Frankfurt was to host Wolfsburg for Saturdays late game.

The sides had played to a stalemate through the first 77 minutes before Alejandro Bedoya got the ball on the wing. He crossed to Zusi, whose shot from about 12 yards beat goalkeeper DuWayne Kerr and ignited his home-team crowd of 18,467 decked out in red, white and blue. Fans packed into Sporting Park had barely settled back down before Edgar Castillo, like Zusi a second-half substitute, found Altidore in front of an open net for another goal in the 81st minute. Altidore scored for his sixth straight international start. The U.S. (6-2-1), which clinched its seventh straight World Cup berth last month, has 19 points in North and Central American and Caribbean qualifying and a four-point lead over second-place Costa Rica (4-2-3), which lost 1-0 at third-place Honduras (4-3-2). Jamaica (0-5-4), whose only World Cup appearance was in 1998, was eliminated. Zusi, who stars for Sporting KC, had entered at the start of the second half for Landon Donovan and was cheered wildly by his home fans. He returned the passion after he scored his second international goal, pumping his fist and celebrating with his teammates. Altidore extended his own team record by scoring in his sixth straight games. The goal was his eighth of the year and his fourth in World Cup qualifiers. It was another bitter defeat to the U.dddddddddddd.S. for Jamaica, which lost 2-1 on June 7 in Kingston when Brad Evans scored in second-half stoppage time. The Reggae Boyz fell to 1-13-8 against the U.S., including 1-5-6 in qualifiers. Still alive at the onset -- at least mathematically -- Jamaica pressed the attack in the opening minutes, dominating possession and pestering goalkeeper Tim Howard. Demar Phillips sent a free kick toward the goal that Howard got his mitts on, and Evans managed to clear it just before Darren Mattocks could get his foot on it in front of an open goal. Jamaica had precious few decent scoring looks the rest of the night. The U.S. won despite missing several key players due to injuries. Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey and Fabian Johnson were unavailable, Omar Gonzalez sustained a hip strain just before he was due to join the national team, and forward Eddie Johnson strained his left groin in training Wednesday. That gave coach Jurgen Klinsmann a chance to give several younger players a look, including Aron Johannsson, who played for Icelands under-21 team and made his U.S. debut in August. Evans was back after missing the Mexico match with a strained calf muscle, and Altidore, Matt Besler and Geoff Cameron were back after serving suspensions for yellow-card accumulation. NOTES: The U.S. finished 8-0 in home qualifiers this cycle, outscoring opponents 8-0 on American soil in the hexagonal. The Americans are 25-0-2 in home qualifiers since a 2001 loss to Honduras.
