Germany round-up: Hansa relief at narrow win

FC Hansa Rostock took a huge step towards retaining their German 1. Bundesliga status as they eked out a 1-0 win against VfL Wolfsburg.

Hill goal enough
The side from the east went ahead in the third minute through defender Delano Hill, and held on to take the points and move up to tenth place, five points clear of the bottom three. Wolfsburg are one place – and a single point – ahead of Hansa, three days after losing playmaker Stefan Effenberg, who walked out of the club on Thursday.

Max powers 1860 München
VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach are still in the relegation zone, however, after losing 2-0 to TSV 1860 München. Markus Schroth scored on 79 minutes and Martin Max added the other as the game entered added time to take 1860 München up to eighth.
