Former Germany striker Max Kruse scored one goal and set up another for Werder Bremen to beat Hamburger SV 2-1 in the Bundesliga's 105th northern derby on Sunday. Hamburg got off to a great start when Michael Gregoritsch headed in former Bremen player Aaron Hunt's precise cross, just minutes after reserve goalkeeper Christian Mathenia denied Kruse at the other end. Host Bremen pushed hard for an equalizer with Zlatko Junuzovic's free kick striking the post before the goal came on a counterattack, four minutes before the break.
