The big match was in Münster, where a sold out Adler stadion witnessed a relatively rare Westfalen derby with Bielefeld. Preussen was dominant from the start, and Arminia seemed relatively bored and paralyzed. So the Eagles took advantage and kicked their rivals in the balls and routed them.
Unterhaching is the new leader, but they struggled against last-place Dortmund II. A last second goal by Yilmaz was needed for the mini-Münchenkins to get the win.
Rostock seems to have righted the ship. They got a solid win in an eastern derby against Halle. The match started 30 minutes late, since the train of Halle supporters was delayed.
Osnabrück got back on track with an important away win in Chemnitz.
Good result for Wehen, as they were down a man against favored Heidenheim, but Mintzel scored in injury time to salvage a point. Darmstadt also put in a solid effort, getting a win against Stuttgart II.
Just when things were perhaps looking up, Karlsruhe laid an egg. KSC crashed to a home defeat against Burghausen, thrusting the home side back into relegation battle chaos.
A critical match in Babelsberg, where the Potsdamers got a huge win again flailing Aachen.
