On Wednesday, the remaining five matches of the German "Bundesliga" championship 6th round were played. The other matches of this round took place on Tuesday.
Once again, the team "Stuttgart" who played in the UEFA Champions League last season experienced another setback, losing 1-2 at home to the strong "Hamburger" team. In this match, "Hamburger" players took the lead after 32 minutes with a goal from Rafael van der Vaart.
Mario Gomez equalized the score in the 53rd minute, and it looked like the match would end in a draw. However, "Hamburger" scored their second goal just two minutes before the end of the match and secured the victory. It's worth mentioning that after this setback, "Stuttgart" has only 6 points after 6 rounds.
The team "Bayer Leverkusen," who dismissed their coach Klaus Augenthaler, secured their second consecutive victory. This time, under interim sports director Rudi Voller, "Bayer" defeated "Koln" 2-1 at home and climbed to the 5th place in the standings with 10 points.
The team "Kaiserslautern" suffered an unexpected home defeat, losing 0-2 to the absolute underdog of the tournament, "Mainz." It is worth mentioning that from the 44th minute, "Kaiserslautern" had to play with ten men after their player Ciriaco Sforza was sent off.
Berlin's team "Hertha" continues to succeed. This time, after a tough battle and a last-minute winning goal, the team defeated "Duisburg" 3-2 and now occupies the 4th place in the championship with 11 points, trailing 7 points behind leaders "Bayern Munich."
