Hamburg - VfB Stuttgart scored twice in the last 11 minutes and Jens Lehmann saved a penalty in a 2-0 win over Schalke 04 for a successful Bundesliga debut of new coach Markus Babbel on Sunday. Lehmann saved Jefferson Farfan's spot kick in the 16th minute before substitute Jan Simak broke the deadlock in the 79th, six minutes after coming on.
Mario Gomez wrapped up matters in the 84th minute as Stuttgart ended a winless run of five matches which had eventually cost the 2007 title-winning coach Armin Veh his job last weekend.
SV Hamburg lost ground on the leaders with a 1-1 draw at lowly VfL Bochum while Borussia Dortmund and VfL Wolfsburg drew 0-0 in the other Sunday game.
