Bayern Munich defeats Nuremberg without Roy
Nuremberg took a 19th minute lead when Javier Pinola scored, but Bayern equalized a minute later through Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero. Michael Ballack scored a 60th minute winner to maintain Bayern's 100 percent record after four games..
Television replays showed that Ballack netted the decider from an offside position. Bayern coach Felix Magath said that he was happy that his side had won despite being without their top scorer Roy Makaay.
"This game showed that we can compete without Roy and that is something important," said Magath.
The last time a side managed 13 league wins in a row was in 1981, when Bayern achieved the feat between April and September, scoring 47 goals and conceding 11.
Bayern can set a new mark next weekend at home to Hanover.
