FRANKFURT, Germany -- Bayern Munich warmed up for its Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid with a 5-2 win over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Bayern trailed twice but scored three goals in a seven-minute span in the second half to put the match away. Franck Ribery scored and played a role in two other goals as his form finally improved ahead of Tuesdays match against Madrid, which holds a 1-0 lead from the home leg. Claudio Pizarro scored twice for Bayern against his former club. "We conceded two counter goals and we cant let it happen on Tuesday," Pizarro said. "Perhaps its better not to score so many if we give away fewer." Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 at home with Borussia Dortmund and failed to consolidate a place in Champions League qualifying. Leverkusen was only one point ahead of Wolfsburg. Dortmund remained second and was sure to play in the Champions League next season. Wolfsburgs mood was dampened by a 2-2 draw against Freiburg at home. Bottom clubs Nuremberg and Eintracht Braunschweig both lost, which means they can avoid relegation only by reaching the playoff spot at the expense of Hamburger SV, which plays on Sunday in Augsburg. There are two rounds left. Hamburg has a match in hand and could escape from the playoff spot. Nuremberg lost 2-0 in Mainz, Braunschweig went down 2-0 at Hertha Berlin, and Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt drew 0-0. Bayerns players wore black armbands and a minute of silence was observed before kickoff in honour of former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who died on Friday. Bayern also expressed condolences, in German and Catalan, on its website. Before becoming head coach, Vilanova was the assistant of Pep Guardiola, who is now the Bayern coach. "We experienced a lot together. We lost together and won together. This is a very difficult situation," Guardiola said. "The sadness will accompany me forever." Guardiola said he was disappointed with his players for the first time this season after their performance in the first half. "The fans dont deserve to see such a first half. In the second, it was better," he said. "But the win is good for our mood." Guardiola, wearing a dark blue sweater instead of his customary suit, left several regulars on the bench and saw his team get off to a slow start and fall behind after 10 minutes. Cedrick Makiadi led a counterattack and sent a perfect pass to Theodor Gebre Selassie, who slotted past Manuel Neuer. Ribery got the equalizer 10 minutes later. Pizarro got a loose ball and sent a through pass to Ribery, who shot through the legs of Bremen goalkeeper Raphael Wolf. Aaron Hunt made it 2-1 with Bremens second chance. Franco Di Santo crossed long to the opposite side, Hunt easily faked Jerome Boateng, and slotted inside the far post. Bayerns comeback began in the 54th with a corner from Ribery. Thomas Mueller headed down to the far post, where Pizarro sidefooted the ball in. Three minutes later, Ribery gave a no-look pass to David Alaba, whose short feed found Pizarro unchallenged and the striker slid to knock the ball home. In the 61st, Philipp Lahm crossed from the right and Bastian Schweinsteiger rose to send a powerful header into the roof of the net. Arjen Robben scored in the 74th in his first possession after coming off the bench. Robben cut inside from the right in his trademark move and drove home with his left foot, finding the low corner as Bremen fell to its seventh straight Bundesliga defeat to Bayern. Bayern has already clinched the Bundesliga title and is seeking to become the only club to win the Champions League twice in a row. While its attacking game fell into place after the break, Bayerns defence struggled against the fast break. Bayern has conceded eight goals in its last three Bundesliga matches at home. Lars Bender put Leverkusen ahead with a seventh-minute header after Stefan Kiesslings header bounced off the crossbar. Oliver Kirch headed in the equalizer after Marco Reus cross in the 29th, but Dortmund fell behind again in the 35th with Gonzalo Castros header. Only four minutes later, Reus converted a penalty for the final score. Kiessling, Leverkusens top scorer, limped off the field late with a suspected hamstring injury.

Oklahoma City dominated the first half and led by 22 at the break, but saw its lead shrink to just two points in the fourth quarter. The Dallas Cowboys have three quarterbacks with starting experience in the NFL -- at least for now. The Cowboys added free agent Brandon Weeden on a two-year contract Monday even though they expect Kyle Orton to return behind Tony Romo next season. There have been reports Orton might not come back for a third season as Romos backup, but the team is expecting Orton to be on hand. Dallas carried two quarterbacks late last season after Alex Tanney was claimed off the practice squad by Cleveland, where Weeden had fallen out of favour. Weeden was a first-round pick by the Browns in 2012 and had a promising rookie season, when he passed for 3,385 yards and won five starts. However, he started poorly in 2013, got benched, lost his confidence and never recovered. He also became a target of abuse by Cleveland fans, who grew tired of him forcing passes and making bad decisions. He was released last week. At 30, Weeden is much older than a typical third-year NFL player because he played professional bbaseball for five years before finishing his college career.dddddddddddd He started his baseball career with the Yankees organization. The Browns picked Weeden 22nd overall after two strong seasons as the starter at Oklahoma State, also the college home of Dallas Pro Bowl receiver Dez Bryant. Weeden had Oklahoma State in contention for the 2011 national championship game before settling for the schools first BCS bowl bid, a 41-38 victory over Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl. Orton made his only start for Dallas in the season finale against Philadelphia last year with a playoff berth on the line. Romo injured his back a week earlier against Washington and had surgery two days before the Cowboys lost to the Eagles, their third straight loss in a finale with the NFC East title at stake. Orton played well in the 24-22 loss to Philadelphia, but threw a clinching interception in the final two minutes with a chance to lead a winning drive. Romo has 108 career starts to 70 for Orton and 20 for Weeden. ' ' '
