( CNN ) -- Werder Bremen snatched top spot in the German Bundesliga after crushing Freiburg 6-0 on Saturday , as young playmaker Mesut Ozil stole the show . The 21-year-old Germany international set up four goals and scored one himself as the home side moved ahead of previous leaders Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference , with both teams on 26 points . Unbeaten Leverkusen can regain their lead in Sunday 's trip to ailing former champions Bayern Munich , while Hamburg can move up to 26 points with victory at home to Bochum . But Bremen ensured bragging rights for at least 24 hours with a demolition job that left Freiburg just two points above the bottom three . Daniel Jansen and Ozil both hit the woodwork before the latter crossed for striker Hugo Almeida to head home the 33rd-minute opener . Marko Marin doubled the lead 10 minutes after halftime with a freekick , then Ozil teed up Almeida 's second soon after before making it 4-0 on 67 as he collected a long ball and rounded goalkeeper Simon Pouplin . Ozil was fouled in the box by Mohamadou Idrissou to allow Naldo to score from the spot six minutes later , and his cross from the left was converted by Markus Rosenberg on 82 . Schalke moved up to third place with a 2-0 win at home to Hannover , who were mourning the suicide of Germany goalkeeper Robert Enke . There was a minute 's silence before the game to commemorating his death , but it was Schalke who took the lead in the 69th minute as Jefferson Farfan headed home Rafinha 's corner . Jan Moravek sealed victory in the second minute of time added on after Enke 's deputy Florian Fromlowitz blocked a shot by Lukas Schmitz , meaning Schalke ended a three-game winless run -- and extended their unbeaten run to seven -- to move onto 25 points . Defending champions Wolfsburg lost 3-2 at home to Nuremberg , who moved out of the bottom three thanks to Peer Kluge 's last-gasp winner three minutes into stoppage time . Ten-man Stuttgart had to come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at home to bottom club Hertha Berlin , as Zdravko Kuzmanovic 's 82nd-minute effort canceled out the 49th-minute opener by Adrian Ramos . However , the Serbian was sent off three minutes later for a second booking , but struggling Stuttgart held on . Hoffenheim crushed Cologne 4-0 to move above Hamburg on goal difference , while Borussia Monchengladbach moved away from the relegation zone with a 2-1 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt . Borussia Dortmund hosted Mainz in the late match .
