Fink under pressure as Hamburg loses again

MIDFIELDER Aaron Hunt missed a first-half penalty but made amends by converting another after halftime as Werder Bremen beat a disjointed Hamburg SV 2-0 in the German Bundesliga yesterday.

Nils Petersen added the second to leave struggling Hamburg without a point or goal to its credit after two games of the new season and coach Thorsten Fink under mounting pressure.

Hapless Hoffenheim had two players sent off, including substitute Sejad Salihovic four minutes after coming on, as it crashed to a 0-4 home defeat against promoted Eintracht Frankfurt, which has won both its opening games.

Jefferson Farfan provided the assists for all three of Schalke 04's goals in its 3-1 win over Augsburg and title holder Borussia Dortmund drew 1-1 at Nuremberg. Bayer Leverkusen beat SC Freiburg 2-0.

On Friday, Felix Klaus made a slice of club history by scoring Greuther Fuerth's first ever goal in the Bundesliga and earning the promoted club its first top-flight victory, 1-0 at Mainz.

Mainz wasted a series of chances either side of halftime and it was Greuther Fuerth that took one of its very few opportunities when Klaus' shot from inside the penalty area was deflected inside the far post.

Greuther Fuerth lost 0-3 at home to Bayern Munich in the opening round.
