And further poor results are demonstrated by some of the league leaders 'Werder' and 'Bayern' clubs. On Saturday, both teams experienced failures and allowed themselves to fall even further behind the 'Schalke' team, for whom this round was also not very successful - the Gelsenkirchen players missed a goal at the very end of the match and painfully lost the victory. After the first half, 'Schalke' already had a two-goal advantage, with K.Kuranyi scoring both goals - in the 11th minute, the striker redirected the ball kicked by Peter Lövenkrands with his head into the goal, and after twenty minutes the German scored again after poor opponent defending. However, the league leaders did not manage to take home three points, as in the second half of the match, 'Wolfsburg' striker D.Klimowicz responded with two goals, accurately redirecting Marcelinho's pass with his head. Although losing two points, the 'Schalke' players managed to slightly increase their lead against their closest competitors, as 'Werder' and 'Bayern' did not collect points in this round. 'Werder', who fell into a pit, had to admit the opponents' superiority for the third time in a row. In this round, the Bremen club faced the recently rejuvenated and seemingly finally recovering 'Hamburg' team, who had just changed their coach. The visitors from the port city won the match 2-0 and under the guidance of Huub Stevens, secured their second consecutive victory. 'Hamburg' pushed forward just before the end of the first half, when R.van der Vaart converted a penalty from eleven meters. In the second half, 'Werder' tried to equalize the score, but the Bremen club was lacking accuracy. With only a few minutes left in the match, 'Hamburg' captain R.van der Vaart took advantage of the poor 'Werder' defense, ran alone against the goalkeeper and secured his club's victory with a precise shot. The three points allowed the Hamburg club to finally climb out of the relegation zone - the team moved up to sixteenth place, while former 'Hamburg' table neighbors 'Mainz' continue to surprise with excellent results - in this round, 'Mainz' managed to beat the solidly playing 'Hertha' 2-1 away and secured their fourth victory in the last five matches, jumping to eleventh place. 'Gladbach' found themselves in the position of absolute outsiders, suffering another defeat away. This time, 'Gladbach', tragically playing in the opponent's arena, lost by a minimal result to the 'Borussia' team. The only goal of the match was scored by A.Fei, who joined Dortmund's ranks this summer - in the 20th minute, the Swiss player beat the opponent's goalkeeper by sending the ball between his legs. It seems that the new 'Bayern' coach Ottmar Hitzfeld may not stay long in the coaching position - the league champions 'Bayern' lost 0-1 away to league debutants 'Aachen'. Both teams had many opportunities to score, but the result of the match was decided by A.Klitzpera's close-range goal after Munich players failed to clear the ball further away from the goal line. After this failure, 'Bayern' is now twelve points away from the leaders.
