Bundesliga: Bayern struggles in Schalke draw; Leipzig can't capitalize

BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Schalke as the Bundesliga leader put up another unconvincing display Saturday while Leipzig lost ground in the title race.

Robert Lewandowski fired Bayern into an early lead with his 15th goal of the season but Naldo equalized from a free kick minutes later and the home side missed a number of chances to claim the winner late on.

Despite the draw, Bayern stretched its lead to four points after Leipzig lost 1-0 at Borussia Dortmund in the late game.

Germany defender Holger Badstuber started in his Schalke debut against his parent club.
