      Hamburg cut gap on leaders Hertha

      Hamburg claimed a crucial 2-1 victory at Schalke to move to within a point of Bundesliga leaders Hertha Berlin. There were no goals in the first half but the game exploded into life with 20 minutes to go, Paolo Guerrero making the initial breakthrough. Guerrero made it 2-0 in the 75th minute but Jefferson Farfan reduced Schalke's arrears five minutes later to set up a nervous finale. Martin Jol's side held on to win and they now join Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg on 48 points, with Hertha Berlin just ahead. Schalke are back in eighth but the division is so intriguingly poised they will still fancy their chances of clinching a European place.
