Hamburg picked up their first win since early February, and their first goals in seven games, to move off the foot of the Bundesliga by beating Augsburg 3-2.

Ivica Olic ended their club record goal drought to put them in front before Pierre-Michel Lasogga added a second goal.

Raul Bobadilla and Tobias Werner brought Augsburg back into the game, but Lasogga had the final say with a spectacular winner, lifting Bruno Labbadia's men off the bottom and denting Augsburg's hopes of playing in Europe next season.

Hamburg clearly meant business in Labbadia's first home game in charge, creating several early openings before taking the lead in the 11th minute.

Heiko Westermann's cross was struck towards goal by Zoltan Stieber, with Olic getting a telling deflection to turn the ball in and end Hamburg's six-game wait for a goal.

Lasogga went close to a second with a free-kick which Marwin Hitz did well to turn behind, but a second goal was not long in coming. Lasogga got it, heading in Matthias Ostrzolek's cross from six yards out without a marker in sight.

Augsburg's response was almost immediate with the celebrations of the Hamburg fans cut short when Bobadilla's diving header from Werner's cross reduced the arrears with only 25 minutes on the clock.

Nerves started to creep back into Hamburg's game and Augsburg went straight for the jugular, levelling in the second half after pegging their hosts back for a prolonged period.

Werner was the scorer this time, taking Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's pass in his stride before beating Rene Adler.

Rather than pushing for a winner, Augsburg sat back as they had done at the start of the game, and they paid the price in the 71st minute when Lasogga drilled an unstoppable shot from an angle into the roof of the net for Hamburg's winner.
