Dortmund dent Bayern hope

Borussia Dortmund may have virtually surrendered their Bundesliga title to Bayern Munich, but they made sure Ottmar Hitzfeld’s men suffered their second successive defeat with a 1-0 win with Marcio Amoroso’s penalty in the 61st minute.

Bayern are currently 11 points clear at the top of the table but second-placed Stuttgart could cut the lead to eight with victory over Bochum tomorrow.

Hertha Berlin remain in the hunt for a place in next season’s Champions League after winning 1-0 at lowly Hansa Rostock with Arne Friedrich’s goal.

Kaiserslautern suffered their first league defeat since January 25 as they went down 2-1 to Hannover.

Borussia Monchengladbach beat Energie Cottbus 1-0, Hamburg drew 1-1 at 1860 Munich, Wolfsburg won 1-0 over Werder Bremen and Nurnberg were held to a goalless draw by Arminia Bielefeld.
