BERLIN - Marco Reus scored one goal and set up another as Borussia Moenchengladbach defeated first-place Bayern Munich 3-1 Friday night when the Bundesliga resumed after its winter break.
Reus capitalized on a blunder by Manuel Neuer in the 11th minute, scoring from 30 yards following the goalkeeper's poor clearance. Patrick Herrmann made it 2-0 in the 41st and added another goal in the 71st after being set up by Reus.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, back after recovering from a broken collarbone, scored for visiting Bayern in the 76th. Bayern defender Daniel van Buyten left around the same time with a suspected broken foot.
Moenchengladbach (11-4-3), which swept both league matches from Bayern for the first time since 1995-96, has 36 points, one fewer than Bayern (12-5-1). Borussia Dortmund and Schalke would match Bayern's 37 points with victories this weekend. Schalke hosts Stuttgart on Saturday and Dortmund is at Hamburg on Sunday.

LE MANS, France (AP) ? Brazilian winger Nene and striker Kevin Gameiro scored two goals each as Paris Saint-Germain beat the amateur team Sable-sur-Sarthe 4-0 to reach the last 16 of the French Cup.
Sable, which plays four divisions below PSG, started brightly but struggled after Nene put PSG ahead with a penalty kick in the 36th minute.
Winger Jeremy Menez set up Gameiro for his first goal in the 65th, and Gameiro ran onto a through ball from Nene to make it 3-0 in the 73rd, his 12th goal of the season. Nene scored in injury time, but missed the chance for a hat trick in the last seconds.
PSG midfielder Javier Pastore limped off with a thigh injury in the first half.
