Hoffenheim moved up to third place in the Bundesliga with a 1-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Benjamin Hubner's 90th-minute goal gave Julian Nagelsmann's men a home success which lifts them above Borussia Dortmund, who could only manage a goalless draw with Cologne on Saturday.

In Sunday's other match, Augsburg thrashed Hamburg 4-0 to ease their relegation fears.

Halil Altintop put Augsburg ahead when he steered home Jonathan Schmid's 28th-minute cross from the edge of the area - and the Turkish midfielder then tapped in Philipp Max's centre three minutes before the break.

Max swept home on 76 minutes after earlier striking the woodwork from distance, and substitute Raul Bobadilla added a fourth as Hamburg were caught on the break five minutes from time.

Augsburg's win saw them climb four places to 13th in the table.
