( CNN ) -- Bayern Munich closed to within two points of Bundesliga leaders Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen with a 2-1 victory at home to Bavarian rivals Nuremberg on Saturday . Belgian defender Daniel Van Buyten celebrates his winning goal for Bayern Munich . Daniel Van Buyten 's 82nd-minute winner left Bayern on 13 points behind the two top teams , who are in action on Sunday , and above Hoffenheim and Mainz on goal difference . Mainz won 3-2 away to Bochum on Saturday , while Hoffenheim scored three late goals to snatch a 4-2 victory at Borussia Moenchengladbach . They moved above Schalke , who lost 2-1 to coach Felix Magath 's former team , defending champions Wolfsburg , on Friday night . Bayern broke into the top three for the first time this season despite again starting with France star Franck Ribery on the substitutes ' bench , where he was joined by Miroslav Klose as young striker Thomas Muller was given the chance to add to his run of four goals in two games . Nuremberg fielded a defensive line-up , but striker Mario Gomez still managed to hit the crossbar for Bayern before Ivica Olic broke the deadlock in the 55th minute . The Croatia forward scored his second goal of the season after being fed in the penalty area by Muller , who was earlier denied one-on-one by goalkeeper Raphael Schafer . The visitors shocked the 69,000-strong crowd in the 73rd minute when Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting equalized after good work by 18-year-old midfielder Ilkay Gundogan . However , Belgian defender Van Buyten followed up his midweek Champions League goal in the win over Maccabi Haifa by heading Arjen Robben 's right-wing cross into the far corner to help launch the city 's Oktoberfest in fine style . Hoffenheim moved into fourth place on 11 points as Senegalese striker Demba Ba scored in the first minute of injury-time to seal victory over Moenchengladbach . Brazilian midfielder Maicosuel had equalized in the 86th minute and then Nigerian forward Chinedu Obasi put the visitors ahead three minutes later . The hosts had led 2-0 after 17 minutes through Juan Arango and Roberto Colautti , but Sejad Salihovic 's free-kick beat goalkeeper Logan Bailly from an impossibly tight angle four minutes later to reduce the deficit . Mainz earned victory at Bochum thanks to a second-half double from 18-year-old striker Andre Schuerle . Midfielder Mimoun Azaouagh put the home side ahead after only seven minutes and striker Diego Fernando Klimowicz doubled the lead at the end of first-half regulation time -- but Andreas Ivanschitz reduced the deficit before the whistle blew for the interval . Schuerle netted in the 52nd and 71st minutes to give Mainz a third win from six league outings . Cologne moved off the bottom of the table with their first victory , winning 2-0 at Stuttgart with a 25th-minute header from Sebastian Freis before goalkeeper Jens Lehmann 's 89th-minute error let in striker Manasseh Ishiaku . In Saturday 's other game , Hannover were held 1-1 at home by Borussia Dortmund as Didier Ya Konan scored three minutes after halftime for the hosts to cancel out Nuri Sahin 's goal just before the break . On Sunday , Hamburg travel to Eintracht Frankfurt , Leverkusen host Werder Bremen and bottom club Hertha Berlin are at home to Freiburg . On Friday , striker Edin Dzeko scored twice to haunt his former mentor Magath as champions Wolfsburg moved onto nine points with a third win of the Bundesliga season . The Bosnian broke the deadlock in the 55th minute with a header from Sascha Riether 's cross , but Benedikt Howedes leveled with a header of his own 10 minutes from time from Levan Kenia 's corner . However , Dzeko relieved the pressure on coach Armin Veh a minute later to end a run of three defeats as he fired home from eight yards after being set up by substitute Makoto Hasebe . Schalke substitute Kevin Kuranyi had a late header blocked on the line by goalkeeper Andre Lenz , filling in for the suspended Diego Benaglio .
