There may have been only two goals scored in the Bayern Munich-Borussia Dortmund draw, but the showdown of Germany's top two teams lived up to its top billing. "I think it was a great football match with two teams who really gave the other team all they could handle," said Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp after the 1-1 result in Munich, which leaves two-time reigning champs Dortmund in third place with 27 points -- 11 points behind leaders Bayern. "It was a very intense game with a lot of drama and a lot of good chances. Both teams play modern football and played very tactically strong football," added Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes. Dortmund were satisfied with the draw, especially after Bayern missed three top-notch chances in the final five minutes thanks to superb stops by Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller. "Roman was great and kept up in the game. We are happy to have gotten the point," added Klopp. Heynckes even said the 32-year-old Weidenfeller should be playing for Germany -- despite his own keeper Manuel Neuer the number one for the German national team between the post. "Weidenfeller was great in the end, just like so often. I don't know what the guy needs to do to play internationally," said the Bayern coach. Dortmund defender Mats Hummels, however, said his team could not be fully happy with the result. "Nothing has changed. We are still 11 points behind Bayern and three points behind Bayer Leverkusen. And we don't like that at all," said Hummels. "We want to get six more points before the end of the first half of the season (before the winter break) and then go after them in the second half."
