体坛英语新闻：Berlin win, Wolfsburg lose in German Bundesliga

BERLIN, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- Berlin cruised to a 3-0 victory to inflict Hamburg the second loss in a row while Monchengladbach extended their winning run with a 2-0 victory over Wolfsburg in the 8th round in Bundesliga on Saturday.

Berlin reaped their fourth victory of the season after beating Hamburg 3-0 thanks to the goal by Salomon Kalou and Vedad Ibisevic's late double strike.

The hosts caught a perfect start on home soil as Berlin's Mitchell Weiser assisted Salomon Kalou, who slotted home from 17 meters into the top left corner at the 15th minute.

Hamburg lacked in ideas and were unable to overcome Berlin's defence. Meanwhile, the hosts sealed the deal in the closing period through Vedad Ibisevic, who scored twice within two minutes.

With the result, Berlin jump onto the 4th place for now while Hamburg slip to the 11th position.

Monchengladbach extended their winning streak to three games under interim coach Ander Schubert. The "Foals" put the game beyond doubt with two second-half goals to inflict the "Wolves" the second loss of the season.

Both teams were unable to build up pressure, thus goal-scoring opportunities remained a rare occurrence at the first half. Things changes after the restart as Monchengladbach picked up the pace to break the deadlock at the 76 minute through substitute Havard Nordveit, who scored with a volley sideways scissor-kick eight from 20 meters eight minutes after his fielding.

The "Foals" gained momentum and doubled the lead three minutes later after Lars Stindl's through ball allowed Ibrahim Traore to beat Wolfsburg goalkeeper Diego Benaglio into the bottom left.

With the third consecutive win Monchengladbach move up to the 13th place whilst Wolfsburg slip to the 7th position.

Elsewhere, Hoffenheim squandered their lead twice to share the spoils with struggling Stuttgart. The "TSG" grabbed the lead twice thanks to Kevin Volland but Stuttgart restore parity through the goals by Jan Kliment and Timo Werner.

Newly promoted Ingolstadt earned their fourth win of the season after they surprised Frankfurt 2-0 and Hannover recorded their first win of the season as Salif Sane's goal was enough to extend Bremen's losing streak to four games.

The following games complete the 8th round of Bundesliga on Sunday: third placed Schalke host Cologne, front-runners Bayern Munich clash with runner-up Dortmund for the top clash and Leverkusen encounter Augsburg.
