Bielefeld, Germany (My Sportsbook) - Artur Wichniarek and Daniel Halfar scored as Arminia Bielefeld knocked Bayer Leverkusen out of first place on Saturday in the German Bundesliga with a 2-1 win at Schuco Arena.
Hoffenheim took advantage of the upset, getting two goals from Vedad Ibisevic in the second half for a 3-1 win over Koln to regain the top spot. Hoffe took a three-point lead on Leverkusen, and remained three in front of Bayern Munich.
Franck Ribery scored in his sixth straight league match as Bayern Munich rolled to a 4-1 win over last-place Energie.
Leverkusen failed to break its winless streak in Bielefeld, which dates back to November 1999. Bayer was riding a six-game unbeaten streak into this weekend's meeting, but struggling Arminia pulled off another upset.
Wichniarek put Bielefeld in front in the 53rd minute, running onto a pass from Halfar down the right side before beating Bayer goalie Rene Adler from a tough angle. Wichniarek's shot got a little help from the left post, taking a slight deflection before going into the net.
Arminia doubled its lead in the 69th minute after Adler tried to punch a cross out of danger and it fell to Halfar. He finished with a left-footed shot, which turned out to be the game-winner.
Patrick Helmes scored his 10th goal of the season in the 78th minute for Bayer, but Leverkusen couldn't complete the comeback and lost its fourth this season.
Ibisevic continued his early-season magic, increasing his league-leading total to 16 to help promoted Hoffenheim return to the top spot in the league.
Ibisevic's 16 goals are just eight less than Bayern Munich's Luca Toni had last season to lead the league.
Toni, Martin Demichelis and Miroslav Klose added to Franck Ribery's opening strike in Bayern's easy victory - its sixth in its last seven games. Ribery and Toni each have six goals to lead Bayern, despite missing time with injuries.
Also Saturday, Raffael, Gojko Kacar and Cicero scored as Hertha Berlin opened a three-goal lead and held on for a 3-2 win over Bochum to solidify fourth place, Grafite and Edin Dzeko each had two goals in the second half as Wolfsburg beat Stuttgart 4-1, Halil Altintop had two goals as Schalke beat Monchengladbach 3-1 and Nikos Liberopoulos had two goals in Eintracht's 4-0 win over Hannover.
On Sunday, Hamburg hosts Werder Bremen.
