PARIS -- Charlie Davies' comeback for Sochaux was delayed Sunday when the American striker was left on the bench in his team's 1-1 draw with Bordeaux in the French league.

Davies was included in Sochaux's first team squad for the first time since a near-fatal car crash 14 months ago that left another passenger dead.

Davies was left with two broken bones in his right leg, a broken and dislocated left elbow, a broken nose, broken forehead and eye socket, a ruptured bladder and bleeding on the brain.

MADRID -- Angel Di Maria's late goal gave 10-man Real Madrid a 1-0 victory over Sevilla on Sunday, keeping his team two points behind leader Barcelona in the Spanish title race.

The Argentina winger threaded a shot from the left flank at a tight angle past Sevilla goalkeeper Andres Palop with 14 minutes to play.

Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo caused problems for his former club's defense throughout and drew two yellow cards from defender Ricardo Carvalho, leaving Madrid with 10 men from the 63rd minute. Sevilla's Mouhamadou was also shown a red card in injury time.

Madrid has won all eight matches this season at Bernabeu stadium while 11th-place Sevilla has lost five in a row.

Also Sunday, Tiago Cardoso scored twice and set up another goal in Atletico Madrid's 3-0 win over Malaga, and Getafe rallied from a two-goal deficit to beat Almeria 3-2.

MILAN -- AC Milan's league lead was cut to three points when Napoli and Lazio took advantage of the 17-time Serie A champions' loss.

Edinson Cavani's stoppage time goal gave Napoli a 1-0 victory over Lecce, and Christian Zapata's late own goal gave Lazio a 3-2 win over Udinese. AC Milan remains on top with 36 points despite losing to Roma on Saturday, but Napoli and Lazio are just three points behind.

Juventus missed the chance to draw even with Napoli and Lazio by drawing 1-1 with Chievo Verona, after conceding a late equalizer from Sergio Pellissier.

The derby between Sampdoria and Genoa was postponed due to heavy snow on the pitch at Ferraris stadium. Sampdoria is eighth in the standings with 23 points, and Genoa is two places and two points behind its crosstown rival.

Also Sunday, it was: Bari 1, Palermo 1; Catania 1, Brescia 0; and Parma 0, Bologna 0.

BERLIN -- Mario Gomez scored a hat trick to lead Bayern Munich to a 5-3 win at Stuttgart in the Bundesliga in the last round before the winter break.

Gomez opened the scoring against his former club in the 31st minute when he was played through by Thomas Mueller's perfectly timed pass. The striker returned the favor later, allowing Mueller to slide between two defenders and poke the ball past goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.

Franck Ribery made it three before halftime, before Stuttgart mounted a comeback. Gomez answered by completing his hat trick moments later.

Defending champion Bayern climbed to fifth place with 29 points, 14 behind leader Borussia Dortmund. Stuttgart, with new coach Bruno Labbadia in charge, remains second from the bottom.

Also Sunday, substitute Patrick Helmes equalized for Bayer Leverkusen in a 2-2 draw with Freiburg. Leverkusen is tied with Mainz with 33 points, 10 behind Borussia Dortmund.

PSV has 41 points going into a three-week winter break. Twente, which is second with 37, has a game in hand. Three other games were postponed due to bad weather.
