DORTMUND, Germany -- Borussia Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich 4-2 to win the German Sup Cup on Saturday, handing Pep Guardiola his first defeat in charge of the European Champions. Marco Reus scored twice in what was a rematch of the Champions League final between the sides, opening the scoring in the sixth minute and wrapping up the victory four minutes from time. "Were delighted," said Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller. "We won the Super Cup, especially against such a good team." Arjen Robben had equalized in the 54th, but Daniel van Buytens attempted headed clearance from Ilkay Gundogans cross flew spectacularly past his own goalkeeper a minute later. Guendogan then followed up the minute after that by running at the Bayern defence and curling his shot inside the far post. Robben scored again at the other end in the 64th, but off-season signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set up Reus to decide the first title of the season in the 86th, though replays showed the winger was marginally offside. "The game was simply brilliant," said Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp. "To have won it is just awesome." The loss ended Guardiolas perfect start at Bayern after taking over from Jupp Heynckes, who led the Bavarian side to an unprecedented treble last season. Bayern had scored 61 goals and conceded just three in Guardiolas nine friendly games in charge. "I dont have the feeling that they played much better than us," said Guardiola, who will have to wait a bit longer for his first title with Bayern. As Barcelona coach, he had taken 14 of the 19 titles on offer during four years in charge. "Its football. It can happen," Guardiola said. "We played well, we did things right. We played against a strong team, who played the Champions League final. But Im honoured for my players. Its a good lesson for us. After one month, I am very happy with our performance." Bayerns defence was to blame for the home sides opening goal when it failed to deal with Sven Benders header and reserve goalkeeper Tom Starke could only parry the ball away, allowing Reus to score with a header. Robert Lewandowski, a transfer target for Bayern, had a goal ruled offside shortly afterward, and later shot straight at Starke from close range. Xherdan Shaqiri, playing in place of the injured Franck Ribery, was twice denied by good saves from Roman Weidenfeller, while Mario Mandzukic came agonizingly close to converting a dangerous cross whipped in by David Alaba as Bayern sought a response. But Dortmund finished the half strongly, with Gundogan drawing a save from Starke and having another effort deflected wide by Jerome Boateng, who berated teammate Van Buyten after another mix-up almost allowed Lewandowski through. Robben was booed with every touch of the ball, as the home fans remembered his late winner against their side in the Champions League final, and he answered by meeting Lahms cross to equalize. Dortmund bounced right back through the unfortunate Van Buytens interception and though Robben claimed his second to keep the tie in doubt after Gundogans exquisite strike, the visitors luck ran out when Thomas Muellers late effort struck the crossbar. "We wanted to win and it didnt work out," said Bayern captain Philipp Lahm. "It can happen. They scored four goals and we two." Cheap Bucks Jerseys China .

The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court. Arbitrator Fredric Horowitz last week refused to compel Selig to testify in the grievance, and Rodriguez then walked out of the hearing without testifying. When Henrik Lundqvist carried a Swedish flag around the ice at the 2006 Turin Olympics with a gold medal dangling from his neck, he was a fresh-faced kid days shy of his 24th birthday.A seventh-round pick in 2000, Lundqvist was in his first season in the NHL with the New York Rangers and still relatively unknown outside Sweden. In his first major international event, he led Sweden to victory in the final Olympics for Hall of Famer Mats Sundin.Ten years later, Lundqvist and twin brothers Daniel and Henrik Sedin are the only players from that team playing for Sweden at the World Cup of Hockey. Lundqvist is 34 and the Sedins are 35. Theyre three victories away from winning another best-on-best tournament in what might be their last chance.Were getting to the age right now where you dont know how many more tournaments you can play, said Daniel Sedin, a teammate with his brother on the Vancouver Canucks since 2000. Its exciting that way. It might be our last one.Sweden faces Team Europe in the second semifinal Sunday afternoon in Toronto, with the winner facing Canada in the three-game final.The Swedes will be without forward Mikael Backlund because of a concussion. Finlands Sami Lepisto hit Backlund high and was assessed a minor penalty for roughing in the preliminary round.The Calgary Flames decided they wanted Backlund to leave the World Cup of Hockey to be evaluated by their doctors.Obviously, theyre making that decision because its best for the player himself, for Mikael to get back on track and rehab with their support, Sweden coach Rikard Gronborg said. We support the decision.Lundqvist and the Sedins are proud members of Swedens golden generation, which began with Sundin and Peter Forsberg and continued with Nicklas Lidstrom, Daniel Alfredsson and Henrik Zetterberg. Theyre now the old guys who young stars Erik Karlsson, Filip Forsberg and Victor Hedman want to win for, especially because the Stanley Cup has evaded Tre Kronors three oldest players.Winger Carl Hagelin, a teammate of Lundqvists in New York from 2011-2015, said older players mentioned at meetings over the summer that their time was running out.The window is pretty small, Hagelin said. You have to make sure you embrace this opportunity and bring it all.Sweden lost to Canada in the final at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, winding up with the silver medal despite injuries to Henrik Sedin, Zetterberg and Johan Franzen.I think thats pretty remarkable, Daniel Sedin said. I thhink thats Swedish hockey for you.ddddddddddddLundqvist has won the Vezina Trophy as the NHLs top goaltender and got to the Cup final with the Rangers in 2014, but hes at his best in Swedens iconic blue and yellow. The King made 25 saves to beat Finland in the 2006 final, had a .927 save percentage in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, a .943 in Sochi and a .953 so far at the World Cup.When we won the Olympics, he was an up-and-coming goaltender just trying to establish himself in the NHL, Lidstrom said. Looking at him today hes one of the best in the world. Hes won a Vezina, hes won the Olympics with us. Hes really established himself as a world-class goaltender.Lundqvists beard is far grayer than it was 10 years ago when he went from a fascination to one of the most celebrated hockey players in the world. His charisma, Hollywood good looks and GQ fashion sense have made him as much of a celebrity as an elite goalie.Hes 10 years older in many ways.My life is very different, said Lundqvist, who has been married since 2011 and has two young daughters. That was my first year in the NHL with so many new things happening for me. I adjusted to that life a little bit more, but the hunger for the game and to compete is, I think, the same.Ive really enjoyed so many things about playing in New York and playing for the national team, too. You learn a lot from doing that, by being surrounded by great players.Lundqvist is the greatest of Swedens great players even now. The Sedins hold significant roles, bigger than in 2006 when they were complementary pieces.Weve been in the league a long time now, said Henrik Sedin, Swedens captain. Back then we were all the youngest guys on the team. You had guys on the team that you looked up to when you started playing in Sweden. Its different to be the oldest guys, for sure.Perhaps old, but not ready to write off making an impact. Lundqvist occasionally has moments when he reflects on the best decade in Swedish hockey history. But he didnt want to do that with his mind focused on winning one more time.If you look back at the past 10 years, we had some really good results and some that we wish could be done better, Lundqvist said. Overall its been a good stretch, I think, for Sweden. Hopefully, we can top it here.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno ' ' '
