In the first Bundesliga of Germany on Saturday, there were seven matches of the fifth round. At least temporarily, the "Wolfsburg" club broke into the leader's position by defeating the "Hansa" team away.
The most interesting match of the round took place in Dortmund, where the local "Borussia" hosted Munich's "Bayern". Although the hosts led from the beginning of the second half, and later increased their advantage, the guests scored twice at the end of the match and snatched a point.
The country's champion "Werder" from Bremen moved up to third place after crushing the "Hannover" team at home. Fourth place went to Leverkuzen's "Bayer", who lost points after an impressive victory against "Real" on Wednesday, and this time failed to win at home against "Nürnberg".
Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke" club managed to secure its second victory of the season, defeating "Monchengladbach" after a thrilling battle. In other matches, "Kaiserslautern" was victorious over "HSV", while "Arminia" and "Mainz" played to a draw.
