Martin Max scored twice as Hansa Rostock gained a 3-3 draw at Hannover 96 Wednesday in the Bundesliga, giving the veteran German forward the league lead in that department.
Max, twice the league's leading marksman, scored in the 43rd and 63rd minutes to give him six in four matches while teammate Macro Vorbeck equalized in injury time, just seconds before matches end.
Both teams, relegation candidates, remained in solid position in the table with Rostock eighth and Hannover two slots beneath.
Thomas Christiansen also had a double for Hannover with goals in the 16th and 66th minutes and Czech midfielder Jan Simak scored in the 71st for the team.
Hamburg SV 0, Bayern Munich 2
Bayern had little trouble against Hamburg on Sunday, especially after the home side's Collin Benjamin was sent off in the 52nd minute with a red card for repeated fouls. Claudio Pizarro put Bayern ahead in the 14th minute and Elber sealed victory in the 78th minute.
On Saturday, Hertha Berlin's goalless streak continued for a fourth successive match this season, an uninspired showing against lowly Eintracht Frankfurt. Ending in a 0-0 draw, the hosts, in 16th place, managed to pick up their first point of the season.
SC Freiburg 4, Borussia, Moenchengladbach 1
Promoted Freiburg won for the first time in convincing fashion, Zlatan Bajramovic leading the rout with his second and third goals of the season. Despite being outplayed for most of the match, Moenchengladbach kept the game entertaining with several scoring chances.
VFB Stuttgart 2, Kaiserslautern 0
Stuttgart scored twice, thanks to defensive lapses by Kaiserslautern in the first 14 minutes, and then coasted to pick up their third win in four matches and move into third place, just behind Bayern and Werder Bremen.
Stuttgart goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand has kept a clean sheet for 465 minutes.
