Hamburg remain unbeaten in three league games under coach Bert van Marwijk after picking up a point in their thrilling 3-3 draw with 10-man VfB Stuttgart on Sunday. Ex-Holland coach Van Marwijk took charge in September after predecessor Thorsten Fink was fired following a disastrous start to the season, including a 6-2 drubbing at Borussia Dortmund. Hamburg captain Rafael van der Vaart earned his side a point when he equalised for the third time for the hosts on 67 minutes on Van Marwijk's home debut.
After a draw at Frankfurt and a 5-0 hammering of Nuremberg, the point kept Hamburg 15th, having been in the bottom three when Van Marwijk took over, while Stuttgart are eighth. Wolfsburg moved up to ninth with a 2-1 win at Augsburg with Wolves ex-Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo heading the first-half winner.
Bayern München reclaimed the lead from Friday winners Bayer Leverkusen on Round nine of the German Bundesliga after winning 4-1 (0-1) over Mainz 05. Borussia Dortmund are the other contender only one point behind, taking three points in a 1-0 (1-0) home win against Hannover 96.
Arjen Robben (50), a brace by Thomas Müller (52, 81) and another goal from Mario Mandzukic (69) saved Bayern's blushes after Shawn parker had put Mainz ahead one minute from half-time. Dortmund won thanks to an early penalty by Marco Reus after four minutes of play. Hertha BSC climbed to fourth place after beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-0 in the evening match.
