Hitzfeld's delight with midfield duo

---

MUNICH, Oct 21 (AFP): Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld says he is delighted with the form of midfielders Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger as his side opened a six-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
Bayern had to come from behind at VfL Bochum on Saturday to seal a 2-1 win as French star Ribery and Schweinsteiger scored either side of half-time to maintain their side's unbeaten record.
The German giants top the league table with 26 points after ten games and are six-points clear of second-placed Werder Bremen.
But Bochum took a surprise lead when Germany under-21 striker Dennis Grote scored with a superb shot on 11 minutes.
It was not the start Bayern wanted with second-string goalkeeper Michael Rensing deputising for captain Oliver Kahn who is recovering from an elbow operation.
But Bayern were back on level terms after 35 minutes when French star Franck Ribery equalised with a deft touch as he flicked striker Miroslav Klose's pass past diving Bochum 'keeper Jan Lastuvka.
