Bundesliga

Schalke lost 0-2 to Hamburg last night, and Stuttgart lost 3-1 at Leverkusen today, so that meant that Bremen and Bayern were able to make up some lost ground. Werder won at home 3-0 vs. Bochum and Bayern won at Hertha Berlin 3-2 in front of a 74,000 sell-out. Salihamidzic scored the first goal for Bayern with Lukas Podolski chipping in with the second. Ex-FC Basel striker Christian Gimenez made it 1-2 but Roy Makaay made it 1-3. Dick van Burik scored Hertha's consolation.
