Mario Gomez equaliser saves Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen

Bayern Munich needed a second-half goal from the Bundesliga's most expensive signing, Mario Gomez, to salvage a 1–1 draw at home to Werder Bremen. After falling behind six minutes before the break when Mesut Ozil fired home a cross from Aaron Hunt in the box, Gomez came to the rescue with less than 20 minutes remaining.

However, Werder then struck against the run of play. Ozil gave keeper Michael Rensing no chance when he notched his second goal in as many matches. But with Ribery on for his first appearance of theseason dGomez levelled in the 72nd minute, beating Wiese from five metres.

Defender Guy Demel gave the hosts the lead in the third minute with a tap-in before Dortmund levelled through Nelson Valdez only 62 seconds later.

Brazilian Ze Roberto put Hamburg ahead on the rebound after his first effort rattled the post seven minutes later and striker Paolo Guerrero made it 3–1 from just inside the box in the 12th. Swede Marcus Berg completed the rout 18 minutes from time.

VfB Stuttgart also scored four times as they beat Freiburg 4–2 with new signing Pavel Pogrebnyak scoring the first goal and winning the penalty that led to the secon
