GERMANY

* Gregg Berhalter (Energie Cottbus, D1) vs. Hannover, 3-0.

Started: 90 minutes. The central defender's fourth straight start since the winter break coincided with the extension of Cottbus' unbeaten streak to four games (three wins, one tie).

The team's hopes for top-tier survival seemed minuscule a month ago. But the win against Hannover, which is also battling relegation, moves Cottbus from last place (18th) to 16th with only an inferior goal difference against 15th-place Bayer Leverkusen keeping it in the relegation zone (bottom three).

BerhalterÆs Kicker Magazine rating (1-high; 6-low): 3. Only two players in the game received higher ratings.
