体坛英语资讯：Hamburg top Bundesliga table, Bayern snubbed

In an exciting Saturday of top-class German Bundesliga soccer, the second round provided goals galore as Hamburg hammer Dortmund 4-1 to top the table, while giant Bayern were snubbed with second draw of the season. For the other games, Stuttgart hit Freiburg 4-2, newly-crowned champion Wolfsburg humiliated Koln 3-1 and Leverkusen pick up a deserved win against Hoffenheim. Meanwhile, Hannover salvage a point against Mainz and Nuremberg share the spoils in Frankfurt.

In a sensational game at the Nordbank Arena, Bruno Labbadia's Hamburg demolished Borussia Dortmund from the beginning stage. Three goals in the opening twelve minutes all but sewed up the points for the hosts, while Marcus Berg's second half strike put an end to any hopes the visitors may have had of a second half comeback.

Following last week's tired performance against Freiburg, Hamburg fans must have been astounded to find their team 3-1 up within the opening quarter of an hour.

Guy Demel got the hosts off to a perfect start when he poked home after a penalty-box ricochet in the 3rd minute, but the lead was quickly cancelled out as Paraguayan international Nelson Valdez sent a looping header over the helpless Rost.

However, a quickfire double from Brizilian midfielder Ze Roberto in the tenth minute and Paolo Guerrero in the 12th put Hamburg firmly in control as the hosts dominated play throughout the first half.

Despite a spirited second half Dortmund performance, Hamburg remained tight at the back and when Swedish new boy Marcus Berg scored his first league goal for the club in the 72th minute, the points were clearly staying on the Hanseatic coast.
