First-half goals from Andriy Voronin and Pál Dárdai helped Hertha BSC Berlin to a 2-1 home win over strugglers VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday, the three points taking Lucien Favre's team back to the Bundesliga summit after fellow challengers TSG 1899 Hoffenheim were held 0-0 at BV Borussia Dortmund.
Relegation fears
Top at the start of play, Hamburger SV can reclaim the lead by beating VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday, while FC Bayern München could go level on points with Hoffenheim in third with victory at Werder Bremen. On Friday, 1. FC Köln consolidated their mid-table position with a 1-1 home draw against DSC Arminia Bielefeld, who themselves are now only clear of the drop zone on goal difference after VfL Bochum 1848's dramatic 3-2 home win over FC Energie Cottbus. Having gone behind twice to fellow strugglers Energie, Bochum secured victory with a 79th-minute penalty from Marc Pfertzel.
Bruggink winner
FC Schalke 04, meanwhile, boosted their chances of playing European football next season with a 2-1 success at Eintracht Frankfurt, Heiko Westermann's 83rd-minute strike proving the winner and keeping Eintracht looking nervously over their shoulders. Elsewhere, Hannover 96 dented Bayer 04 Leverkusen's title hopes with a 1-0 win courtesy of a first-half effort from Dutch striker Arnold Bruggink. Second-bottom Karlsruher SC host VfB Stuttgart in Sunday's other fixture.
