Bundesliga: Hanover down Freiburg to leapfrog Bayern Munich

BERLIN: Hanover 96 went third in the Bundesliga on Thursday with a 3-1 win at Freiburg which knocked Bayern Munich out of the Champions League places before the weekend's matches.

First-half goals by Norway forward Mohammed Abdellaoue and ex-Germany striker Jan Schlaudraff put the visitors 2-0 up at the break.

Defender Konstantin Rausch added a third with a header on 58 minutes before Freiburg pulled a goal back through midfielder Jan Rosenthal with just over 10 minutes remaining.

The win pushes Hanover up to third place with three games left while Freiburg are eighth.

Bayern are at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday where a win would put them back into third spot.
