Hoffenheim miss out on second in Hamburg draw

Hoffenheim missed out on reclaiming second in the Bundesliga after Sunday's 1-1 draw at strugglers Hamburg while leaders Bayern Munich finish the weekend four-points clear after hammering Werder Bremen.

Hoffenheim took an early lead as Anthony Modeste coolly slotted home in the 15th minute, but hosts Hamburg, who are third from bottom, hit back when Pierre-Michel Lasogga showed superb finishing on 34 minutes.

The former Germany Under-21 international had several chances in the second-half and clipped the crossbar with 10 minutes left to leave Hoffenheim, Bayern, Mainz and Moenchengladbach as the league's only unbeaten teams.

The point lifts Hamburg up to 16th in the table, while Hoffenheim are third after Borussia Moenchengladbach moved up to second with Saturday's 3-0 win at Hanover 96 when Germany striker Max Kruse scored twice.
