In the German Bundesliga on Saturday, the seventh round of matches took place. The surprise came from the "Hamburger SV" club, which defeated the crisis-ridden Dortmund "Borussia" team away and climbed out of the bottom of the table.
At least temporarily, the "Wolfsburg" team returned to the first position of the season, crushing "Bochum" and winning their seventh victory out of nine possible.
The losing streak was broken by "Bayern", forcing "Hansa" to suffer their fifth consecutive loss and setting a club record. The defending champions "Werder" achieved a convincing victory, easily defeating "Nurnberg" at home and rising to fourth place.
The sixth and seventh positions are shared by the "Hannover" and "Arminia" clubs, who defeated the "Hertha" and "Gladbach" teams. Meanwhile, the match between "Kaiserslautern" and "Bayer" ended in a draw.
Tomorrow, "Stuttgart" will have the opportunity to return to the top position, as they play away against "Freiburg", while "Schalke" will face "Mainz".
