Gomez scores late winner in Allianz Arena friendly
Mario Gomez scored a late winner as Bayern Munich beat the Netherlands 3-2 at the Allianz Arena just days after their UEFA Champions League heartbreak.
Fresh from losing on penalties to Chelsea in the Champions League final on Saturday, Bayern were back in action to face a Euro 2012-bound Dutch side.
The game had been arranged by means of compensation to Bayern for an injury picked up by Arjen Robben while on international duty and the winger made a late outing in an Oranje shirt.
Toni Kroos gave Bayern the lead in the 17th minute with a fine 25-yard effort which struck the underside of the bar on its way in but their lead lasted less than a minute, though, with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar replying.
Boos
The Schalke striker and Bundesliga top goalscorer this season was put through by Dirk Kuyt and threaded the ball inside Hans-Jorg Butt's near post.
The Dutch took the lead two minutes later when Holger Badstuber pushed up and got the offside trap all wrong, allowing Luciano Narsingh a free run on goal, and he chipped the ball over Butt.
Bayern levelled in the 28th minute with Nils Petersen heading in a cross from Ivica Olic from six yards out.
Robben came on for Holland in the 75th minute, receiving boos from parts of the 33,000 fans whenever he touched the ball.
Franck Ribery also came on for Bayern and he set up Gomez to tap in the winner in the 87th minute to give the Bavarians something to smile about at the end of a disappointing few days and an equally disappointing season.
