Lewandowski scores late winner for Bayern at Hoffenheim

BERLIN (AP) — Robert Lewandowski struck a last-minute winner for Bayern Munich to beat Hoffenheim 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Hoffenheim forward Kevin Volland scored after nine seconds, capitalizing on a poor back pass from David Alaba to match the fastest German league goal ever scored.

Thomas Mueller equalized on a rebound in the 41st, before Bayern defender Jerome Boateng gave away a penalty and earned his second yellow card for blocking a free kick with his arm in the 73rd.

But Eugen Polanski struck the penalty against the post, and Lewandowski, a substitute, was in the right place to convert Douglas Costa's cross for the visitors.

Promoted Darmstadt held Schalke to a 1-1 draw, Bayer Leverkusen won 1-0 at Hannover, Wolfsburg drew 1-1 at Cologne, as did Augsburg at Eintracht Frankfurt.
