09/15/2007 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miroslav Klose ended a long scoring drought against Schalke, scoring his fourth goal of the season to give Bayern Munich a 1-1 tie in a battle of unbeatens on Saturday.
Klose hadn't scored against Schalke since 2001. It took him just one game with Bayern Munich - he came over from Werder Bremen in the offseason - to snap the long skid.
Klose headed home a rebound off a Luca Toni shot in the 54th, equalizing Ivan Rakitic's goal in the first half for Schalke. Klose is tied for league scoring lead, which is shared by six players.
Bayern Munich (3-0-2) maintained an edge in the standings with the point, but now leads Arminia Bielefeld and Eintracht by just one.
Schalke (1-0-4) is still struggling to pick up wins, but its four ties through five games has it sitting sixth in the standings.
Arminia Bielefeld and Eintracht kept the heat on Bayern with wins on Saturday.
Christian Eigler scored twice for Arminia Bielefeld (3-1-1) in a 4-2 win over Rostock (0-5) to keep the promoted side winless this season.
Alexander Meier scored two goals - and has four for the season - as Eintracht (3-1-1) edged Hamburg, 2-1.
In Saturday's other games, Stuttgart blanked Energie, 3-0, Bayer Leverkusen shut out Bochum, 2-0, and Nurnberg tied Hannover, 2-2.
Duisburg hosts Hertha Berlin and Wolfsburg hosts Karlsruher on Sunday to wrap up this weekend's games in the Bundesliga.

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.
"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."
Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
