Soccer-Lewandowski rescues lethargic Bayern with stoppage-time goal

BERLIN, Feb 18 ( Reuters) - Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich needed a last-gasp goal from striker Robert Lewandowski to rescue a 1-1 draw at Hertha Berlin on Saturday and increase their advantage at the top to eight points.

Hertha scored through Vedad Ibisevic with the Bosnian volleying in for his ninth goal of the campaign and Bayern, who crushed Arsenal 5-1 in the Champions League in midweek, lacked any game plan despite controlling possession.

But Lewandowski was in the right place at the right time to fire in from close range with the last kick of the game.

Bayern moved up to 50 points with RB Leipzig, in second place on 42, travelling to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Sunday.

Borussia Dortmund bounced back from their midweek Champions League loss at Benfica to ease past VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 and climb into third place on 37 points.

An own goal from Jeffrey Bruma put them in the driving seat before Lukasz Piszczek and Ousmane Dembele increased their lead with second-half goals.

Eintracht Frankfurt squandered their chance to go third in the standings, slumping to a 2-0 defeat by visitors Ingolstadt to drop to sixth on 35 points. (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann, editing by Ed Osmond)
