Reinhardt leads Hamburg to fourth straight win

Soccer Betting Lines

11/03/2007 - Hamburg, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bastian Reinhardt scored the game- winner with 10 minute to play to hand Hamburg a 2-1 win over Hertha Berlin at HSH Nordbank Arena on Saturday.

The win is Hamburg's fourth straight in league play, and allows the club to move to within two points of league-leaders Bayern Munich, who were held to a 0-0 draw by Eintracht on Saturday.

Jose Paolo Guerrero had Hamburg in front after only four minutes before the goal was canceled out in the second half by Hertha's Patrick Ebert. Reinhardt then headed home from eight yards in the 80th minute to hand Hamburg all three points and keep the team's good form going.

Hamburg came out in attack mode and immediately pressured the Hertha defense. It took only four minutes for the hosts to get on the board as they took the first chance that came their way.

A short lob into the box found Ivica Olic, who brought the ball down off his chest and turned with it before sending a sliding shot on net. Hertha keeper Jaroslav Drobny came off his line to deflect the shot away, but the rebound fell to Guerrero, who drove it into the empty net for a 1-0 Hamburg lead.

The home side continued to push forward and should have increased its lead over the next 15 minutes.

First it was Guerrero who was denied by the woodwork in the 19th minute when he took a long pass over the top and got a touch on the ball before ripping a half volley off the bottom of the crossbar from 14 yards.

Minutes later, Jerome Boateng thought he had doubled the Hamburg lead with a hard volley from 25 yards out that beat the keeper but came back off the right post.

Hertha had barely managed to create any offense in the first half, but things turned around after the break as they began to gain confidence.

A hard, rising shot from 20 yards out by Brazilian midfielder Mineiro was a sign of danger for Hamburg, and they soon found themselves on level terms after yielding a goal three minutes later.

Marko Pantelic navigated his way through the midfield and towards goal. He then dropped a pass off to Ebert on the left. The young midfielder carried the ball into the box and cut back to escape his defender. He then fired a great shot off the far post and into the net to stun the home crowd.

However, Hamburg would not be denied on this day and the home side found the winner with 10 minutes to play. Rafael Van der Vaart had plenty of space on the right and he swung a cross into the box towards a crowd that was eight yards from goal. Reinhardt was among the five or six players that challenged for the ball, and got his head to the cross to send it into the near corner.

Van der Vaart should have added to the Hamburg lead minutes later when he got in behind the Hertha defense and was all alone with the keeper. The Dutchman had plenty of space but he tried to place the ball into the upper left corner of the net, only to watch his shot sail inches over the crossbar.

The miss was of no consequence though as Hamburg held on to earn the result and maintain its second position in the league table.

In other Bundesliga action on Saturday, Bayer Leverkusen got two goals each from Sergej Barbarez and Theofanis Gekas to hammer Arminia Bielefeld 4-0, Hannover held off Borussia Dortmund 2-1, Stuttgart continued its climb up the league table with a 1-0 win over Nurnberg behind a Mario Gomez tally and Werder Bremen got a goal from Hugo Almeida to slip past Rostock 1-0.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
