BERLIN -- With Uli Hoeness back in charge again, Bayern Munich bounced back from two straight defeats to beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at home and keep pace with Bundesliga leader Leipzig on Saturday.Hoeness, who returned as president the night before, watched as Thiago Alcantara and Mats Hummels scored to ease the pressure on coach Carlo Ancelotti with the sides first win in four games across all competitions.There are moments in the season when its more important to win than play well, Ancelotti said. Were going to improve.Leverkusen made the better start with Admir Mehmedi and Hakan Calhanoglu both going close before Joshua Kimmich headed straight at Bernd Leno at the other end.Alcantara was well-placed to head the opener from close range in the 30th minute after Leno saved Philipp Lahms initial effort.But Calhanoglu equalized five minutes later after eluding Lahm and playing a quick one-two with Julian Brandt to score from a narrow angle.Poor defending allowed Hummels to restore Bayerns lead with a header to Kimmichs corner early in the second half. It was the Germany defenders first league goal for Bayern.Javi Martinez used his hand to deny Kevin Volland an equalizer late on but the incident was missed by the match officials and Bayern held on to stay three points behind surprise leader Leipzig.Its difficult to see for the referee and Martinez was very clever, Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt said.Before the game, Hoeness apologized for calling Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund enemies at his election the night before.In football there are no enemies, only opponents or rivals, said Hoeness, who returned after serving half his prison term for tax evasion.EINTRACHT FRANKFURT 2, BORUSSIA DORTMUND 1It was supposed to be Dortmund pressuring the leaders after defeating Bayern the weekend before -- and following up with an 8-4 demolition of Legia Warsaw in the Champions League -- but the visitor slumped to its third defeat and remain nine points behind Leipzig.Unheralded Frankfurt replaced Dortmund in third place.Timothy Chandler crossed for Szabolcs Huszti to put the home side ahead right after the break.Frankfurt was runnning more, and Dortmund was struggling.dddddddddddd.
