Hamburg kept pace on top of the Bundesliga table after recording a 3-1 victory at Hertha Berlin on Sunday. The hosts took the lead only after nine minutes when Arne Friedrich broke the deadlock, but 14 minutes later Hertha's slender lead was cancelled out by Kaka's own goal. David Jarolim gave Hamburg a one-goal advantage and Ze Roberto sealed the win five minutes from the break. Now Hamburg are level on points with leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who are leading the way on goal difference.
