'Gladbach wins Bochum gets 1-1 draw in HamburgPosted: Sunday December 08, 2002 2:21 PMFRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- Sergej Barbarez scored for Hamburg then got sent off and Bochum equalized in the last minute of Sunday's Bundesliga match to earn a 1-1 draw. In a match between two relegation-threatened teams, Borussia Moenchengladbach edged Hannover 1-0 on a goal by Igo Demo. Barbarez, a Bosnian striker, scored in the 56th minute, then got sent off in the 68th after earning his second yellow card of the match for arguing with a linesman. Barbarez got his first booking also for arguing, that time when his score was disallowed. With time running out, Peter Graulund used a defensive mistake to strike the late equalizer for Bochum. Neither team made any moves in the table, with Hamburg staying seventh and Bochum 10th. Demo, a Slovakian midfielder, notched the winner for Moenchengladbach after 15 minutes and his team moved up two places to 13th. Promoted Hannover dropped its fourth in a row. On Saturday, Roque Santa Cruz scored two goals and Oliver Kahn had his fourth straight shutout to help Bayern Munich rout Stuttgart 3-0 on Saturday and extend its lead in the Bundesliga to eight points. In Dortmund, Marcio Amoroso came off the bench to score two goals as Borussia won 3-1 against Kaiserslautern and slipped past Bremen into second place on goal difference. Bremen played to a 1-1 draw at Schalke. Bayern, riding a five-game winning streak, now is sure of spending the winter break with a massive lead in first place. With one round left before the break, Bayern has 38 points, Dortmund and Bremen 30 and Schalke 27. In other matches, it was Hertha Berlin 2, Wolfsburg 2; Nuremberg 2, Energie Cottbus 2, 1860 Munich 0, Bayer Leverkusen 3, Arminia Bielefeld 3, Hansa Rostock 0.

The visitors pulled one back with a header from striker Robson Ponte in the 63rd minute before defender Kim Madsen put them level from close range in the dying moments. - - - - NUREMBERG 2 ENERGIE COTTBUS 2 Energie Cottbus fought bravely with 10 men, snatching a draw with a goal from striker Lars Jungnickel four minutes from time, but they remain bottom of the table.

Nuremberg fought back with a goal from the edge of the box by Czech defender Marek Nikl three minutes from the break before Yugoslavia defender Dusa Petkovic put them in the lead from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute. Cottbus played the last 30 minutes without midfielder Timo Rost, who was sent off for a second booking. - - - - TSV 1860 MUNICH 0 BAYER LEVERKUSEN 3 Bayer Leverkusen suggested they could lift themselves up the table with a spirited performance against the "other" Munich club, who had not lost at home since August. Former TSV 1860 striker Daniel Bierfoka showed Leverkusen the way by scoring from close range on nine minutes. Substitute forward Dimitar Berbatov added another from close range in the 51st minute. Germany forward Oliver Neuville wrapped it up with a few seconds remaining. - - - - ARMINIA BIELEFELD 3 HANSA ROSTOCK 0 Artur Wichniarek, who scored twice in Bielefeld's 2-2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in their last home game, underlined his brilliant form with another double.

Rostock lost Sweden defender Andreas Jakobsson for a second booking four minutes later. Defender Bastian Reinhardt inflicted further punishment on the northerners 10 minutes from time. - - - - SCHALKE 04 1 WERDER BREMEN 1 Werder Bremen, who had won their last three matches, had to be content with a draw that saw them drop one spot to third. The visitors had a great start, going ahead with an effort from 16 meters out by striker Markus Daun on three minutes. But Schalke, whose coach Frank Neubarth played for Werder for nearly two decades, leveled five minutes later with a strike from close range by captain Ebbe Sand. - - - - VFB STUTTGART 0 BAYERN MUNICH 3 Three days after knocking holders Schalke 04 out of the German Cup, Bayern marched towards an 18th league crown, moving eight points clear at the top with a comfortable away win. Bayern showed little threat until Alexander Zickler gave them the lead with a diving header from a cross by fellow striker Elber in the 29th minute. Paraguay striker Roque Santa Cruz doubled the advantage from inside the area four minutes later before sealing the victory with a superb volley from the edge of the box on 68 minutes. - - - - BORUSSIA DORTMUND 3 KAISERSLAUTERN 1 Substitute striker Marcio Amoroso was the match winner with two second-half goals for the German champions, who climb one place to second. Dortmund went ahead when Kaiserslautern defender Tomasz Klos deflected a shot from playmaker Tomas Rosicky into his own net in the 22nd minute. Kaiserslautern responded two minutes later with a goal from close range by Portugal midfielder Jose Manuel Dominguez. Rosicky rattled the bar with a penalty just before halftime. Amoroso then came on to win the game for Dortmund and leave their crisis-hit visitors second from bottom of the table.
