Bayern Beat Leverkusen 1-0

Luca Toni tapped in a Miroslav Klose cross just before half-time to give unbeaten Bayern Munich a 1-0 victory in a top-of-the-table clash at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

France midfielder Franck Ribery headed over to Germany striker Klose, who spun around defender Manuel Friedrich on the left and sent a pinpoint cross to Toni streaking into the middle for the match-winner in the 40th minute.

Bayern, who also had a Klose goal that bounced in off the crossbar and then out again disallowed in the 13th minute, held onto first place with 20 points from their eight matches while Leverkusen slipped from second to fourth on 14 points. Schalke 04, the only other unbeaten Bundesliga side, moved into second place with 16 points after beating Hertha Berlin 1-0 on Friday.

It was the sixth goal of the season for Toni, who like Klose and Ribery joined Bayern in the off-season as part of a 70-million euro ($96 million) spending spree. Klose leads the league with eight goals.
