BERLIN, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- German soccer team Bochum leapt out of the relegation area of Bundesliga after a goal-flourish win against Wolfsburg on Sunday, while Karlsruhe came back in fourth place thanks to a 1-0 victory over Duisburg.

In front of 20,940 fans, Bochum and Wolfsburg staged in a pulsating clash that ended 5-3, entertaining the audience with a total of eight goals.

The hosts thus ended their winless run of eight matches and left the relegation places with 12 points. The guest team, nicknamed "Wolves", saw their unbeaten run of seven matches come to an end.

The first half became a Solo-show for the host team.

Stanislav Sestak bagged his goals five and six this season, Marcel Maltritz and Danny Fuchs put the tie beyond Wolfsburg's reach in a frantic manner.

However, the visiting team tried to get back into the match after the break. Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath brought on Pablo Thiam and Edin Dzeko at half-time, and the "Wolves" looked a completely different team from then on.

Marcel Schafer and Grafite scored three times for Wolfsburg, but Joel Epalle's goal ensured that Bochum were not really troubled.

In another match on Sunday, Karlsruhe extended their unbeaten run to six matches by beating Duisburg 1-0 at home.

Thanks to the sole goal in 29th minute by captain Mario Eggimann, Karlsruher SC continued to prove the biggest surprise team in the Bundesliga.

The 1-0 victory pushed Karlsruher into fourth place in the Bundesliga table. For Duisburg, the loss means the club remain in the relegation zone.
