Bayern take provisional lead with tie

BERLIN: Ten-men Bayern Munich moved to the top of the Bundesliga for at least 24 hours after a battling 2-2 draw at Stuttgart on Saturday.

With surprise leaders Hoffenheim not playing until Sunday, Juergen Klinsmann's men had looked set to take full advantage after fighting from a goal down at halftime to lead 2-1.

A red card for Massimo Oddo, following a lunging tackle on Stuttgart's Christian Traesch with five minutes to go, proved costly however with Sami Khedira going on to equalize for the home side one minute into stoppage time.
