1. FC Köln continued their good run with a win at Aalen. They were in control, but neglected to finish off their hosts. As a result, they had some nervous moments in the end, as Aalen threw everything at them.
Cottbus stopped their downward spiral with a hard fought win against Bielefeld. Energie seemed to have everything under control, but Arminia came roaring back. In the end, Cottbus got a second wind in the home stretch and pulled out a needed win.
Kaiserslautern dominated a once again lame 1860. Although it took a while, FCK pressure was rewarded and they romped over the toothless Lions.
Aue bitch-slapped Karlsruhe silly in a dominant performance. KSC didn’t seem like they even wanted to be there.
Union put in a solid performance in getting the points at struggling Paderborn. Ex-SCP forward Soren Brandy hit a double, and although the result was perhaps too high, Union deserved the win.
Bochum disgraced themselves, losing at Sandhausen. In reality, SVS could have gotten more, as they were up a man and missed a penalty.
St Pauli did zero, but it was enough to nail Ingolstadt. The Schanzer look pretty crap and headed for relegation.
On Monday, Greuther Fürth easily bitch-slapped Dresden and moved back into 1st.
