Hoffenheim stumbles as Bayern extends lead at the top

Berlin - Hoffenheim stumbled to a 2-1 defeat at Wolfsburg on Sunday as all five clubs chasing Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga lost over the weekend.

Daniel Didavi came off the bench after the break to inspire Wolfsburg's second-half fight back as Hoffenheim suffered only a second defeat this season.

Carlo Ancelotti's Bayern was the only club in the league's top six to win this weekend after Arturo Vidal and Arjen Robben scored last-minute goals in Saturday's 2-0 win at Ingolstadt.

The Bavarian side now has a seven-point lead at the top.

Host Wolfsburg deserved to beat Hoffenheim and break a three-match losing streak to stay 14th, now six points from the relegation places.

Hoffenheim made a bright start at the Volkswagen Arena after Kerem Demirbay hit the crossbar with an early free-kick, then set up Steven Zuber to give his side a deserved lead on 26 minutes.

But Wolfsburg roared back with two second-half goals and Germany striker Mario Gomez was only denied a third when goal-line technology showed the ball had not crossed the line.
