Hertha lead Bundesliga, Bayern slip to fifth place

BERLIN: Bayern Munich's domestic woes continued on Sunday when they were held 0-0 at Werder Bremen and slipped to fifth in the Bundesliga.

Bayern, who have won only one league game in five this year but crushed Sporting 5-0 in Lisbon in the Champions League last week, are four points behind leaders Hertha Berlin, who went top with a 2-1 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday.

Hamburg SV, leaders going into the weekend's matches, failed to regain top spot on Sunday when they lost 3-1 at home to VfL Wolfsburg and are a point behind Hertha. Hoffenheim are third with 41 after a lackluster 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund.
