Hertha won't give up Bundesliga fight

Hertha Berlin coach Otto Rehhagel says his side will "not give up" after a late equaliser left them five points adrift of safety.

The 3-3 draw with Bayer Leverkusen saw Berlin lose ground on Augsburg, who picked up all three points against Wolfsburg, leaving them five points behind with just three games remaining, but the veteran coach was pleased with his side's fighting spirit and optimistic for the final three games of the season. "I am a bit disappointed because we could have won," said the former Greece manager: "The team fought like lions and showed that they are intact and have morale for the coming games. We are still in the race and will not give up."
