COTTBUS, Oct 15 (SW) - Markus Brzenska scored twice as Borussia Dortmund claimed a valuable 3-2 win at Energie Cottbus to move within two points of the top of the Bundesliga.

Brzenska opened the scoring within two minutes of the opening whistle, but the home side leveled less than a minute later when Vragel da Silva made it 1-1.

Dortmund always looked rather comfortable and retook the lead on 57 minutes as Brzenska added his second of the game, and then Alexander Frei made it 3-1 two minutes later.

Vlad Munteanu pulled a goal back for Cottbus late from the penalty spot, but it was far too late to mount a comeback.
