Werder Bremen 1-1 Mainz

(Pizarro pen. 45' - Baumgartlinger 38')

Hamburg 1-3 Hoffenheim

(Hunt pen. 30' - Kramaric pen. 20', Volland 23', Vargas 67')

Hoffenheim moved out of the bottom two with a 3-1 win at Hamburg as the team continued its improved run of form under Julian Nagelsmann. It was a bad afternoon for Rene Adler who made two catastrophic errors to hand the visitors the lead. First, he gave away a spot-kick, which was converted by Kramaric on 20 minutes. Then three minutes later Adler conceded an indirect free-kick. Kevin Volland took full advantage, lashing home after a lay off.

Aaron Hunt pulled one back on the half hour mark, but Hoffenheim were dangerous throughout. Volland capped off a superb personal display, assisting Eduardo Vargas who finished emphatically with 23 minutes of the game left to secure their first away win in 14 matches.
