Feb 18, 2012, 16:25 GMT
Berlin - Borussia Dortmund stayed clear at the top of the Bundesliga with a 1-0 win at crisis club Hertha Berlin Saturday, while Borussia Moenchengladbach kept up the pressure by winning 2-1 at Kaiserslautern.
Dortmund set a club record of 16 games without defeat thanks to a winning 66th-minute goal from Kevin Grosskreutz in Berlin's Olympic Stadium - a fifth successive defeat for Hertha.
The reigning champions move to 49 points, three ahead of Moenchengladbach. Bayern Munich could reduce Dortmund's lead back to two points with a win at bottom side Freiburg in the day's later game.
Hertha, who have now gone 11 games without a win, have appointed Otto Rehhagel to take charge for the rest of the season. The 73-year-old coach, who led Greece to the Euro 2004 title, will take over from Sunday.
Elsewhere, Werder Bremen won 3-1 at SV Hamburg in the northern derby, Bayer Leverkusen thrashed Augsburg 4-1 and Nuremberg defeated Cologne 2-1
