BERLIN, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- German Bundesliga Champions Bayern Munich were humiliated by Werder Bremen with a 2-5 shock defeat on Saturday, while Schalke 04 elbowed out Frankfurt 1-0 to take the top seat at the league standings. It was the biggest home defeat for Bayern since losing 4-0 to Arminia Bielfeld back in March 1979.

Bremen's Markus Rosenberg scored twice and Naldo, Mesut Oezil and Claudio Pizarro found the net to help the guest team sweep the home side 5-0 at one point, while Bayern merely saved face with two late scores from former Bremen man Tim Borowski in the 71st and 85th minute. Bremen went on the offensive from the start in front of a 69,000 crowd in the Allianz Arena against an out-of-sorts Bayern and could have taken the lead on 18 minutes, Pizarro lobbing narrowly wide.
They deservedly went in front on the half-hour mark, Mesut Oesil brilliantly splitting the home defence for Rosenberg to slotthe ball past Bayern keeper Michael Rensing.
Minutes later it was 2-0, when Rensing pushed Oezil's free-kick onto the feet of Naldo, who just had to knock the ball over the line.
