Stuttgart Top HSV To Move To Second; Bayern One Point Off CL Berth; Schalke Back On Winning Track

Seven games were contested on Saturday in the Bundesliga in Germany:

At Hamburg:

Four different goal scorers helped propel VfB Stuttgart into second place in the Bundesliga standings as the guests doubled up Hamburg 4-2.

At Hannover:

Bayern Munich, powered by goals through the courtesy of Martin Demichelis (53') and Bastian Schweinsteiger (71'), erased a 1-0 halftime deficit and defeated hosts Hannover 96 2-1. The win place Bayern one point out of a Champions League qualifying berth and kept them six points out of first place with six games remaining.

At Gelsenkirchen:

After a scoreless first half, league-leading Schalke 04 got some offensive firepower from Gerald Asamoah (57') and Kevin Kuranyi (71') and defeated basement-residing Borussia Mochen--not too--gladbach 2-0.

At Aachen:

Alexander Frei's double (54', 58') helped lead Borussia Dortmund to a 4-1 road win over Alemania Aachen, enabling the guests to climb out of the relegation zone.

At Berlin:

Hertha Berlin salvaged a 1-1 home stalemate versus Arminia Bielefeld, thanks to Patrick Ebert's equalizer at 71 minutes.

At Frankfurt:

Goals from Sergiu Radu (58') and Vlad Munteanu (90') helped Energie Cottbus climb up to eighth place in the standings with their 3-1 road win over struggling Eintracht Frankfurt.

At Wolfsburg:

Marcelinho's double in the final ten minutes (80', 87') propelled seventh-place VfL Wolfsburg to a 3-2 come-from-behind home victory that sent visiting Mainz back into the relegation zone.
