Bayern Munich fought back from a goal down to beat nine-man Borussia Dortmund in an ill-tempered top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash.
The win sent Bayern five points clear of the defending champions in the Bundesliga, as Dortmund suffered their first league defeat of the season.
Brazilian striker Marcio Amoroso put the visitors ahead on seven minutes.
His effort was slightly deflected by Jan Koller, leaving Bayern goalkeeper Oliver Kahn stranded.
Dortmund then had midfielder Torsten Frings sent off for a second booking four minutes from the break.
Bayern's Paraguayan striker Roque Santa Cruz put them level with a superb drive from just outside the area in the 62nd minute.
Substitute striker Claudio Pizarro hit the winner from close range three minutes later.
Dortmund goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was dismissed for claiming Pizarro was offside.
