Osnabrück crapped all over Aalen’s promotion party. The Lilacs attacked and the locals were too drunk from their celebration to care. (actually, this was probably good that this happened away, as the Osnabrück fans would have been wondering “Why didn’t we play this way all season.) Elias Kachunga grabbed a hat-trick, and perhaps it’s something VfL builds on for next season.
Regensburg needed a draw, and Jena was already relegated. So what could be the problem? Jahn insisted they wouldn’t play for a draw, but it was hard to tell who (might) be going up, and who is going down. They finally woke up and took the lead, and then came out aggressive in the second half to secure the victory. Instead they got sucker punched, and seemed punch drunk as they withdrew into a shell to hold on.
