3.Liga , Round 24

Heidenheim was finally slowed down, by Darmstadt. FCH wanted revenge for one of their two losses (0-1 at Darmstadt) and pressed hard, but in the end had to settle for a draw, a good result for the visitors.

Leipzig got a huge win at Erfurt, allowing them to strengthen their hold on 2nd. For Erfurt, they needed a win here, so this is a major setback. A large crowd was on hand to boost RWE, but in reality, the RedBulls looked the better team.

Rostock had a horrible start, conceding a penalty within seconds at Unterhaching. But somewhat surprisingly, Hansa got their act together and played superior football, getting a crucial away win to keep in the hunt.

Osnabrück’s Andriano Grimaldi nailed a hat-trick against hapless Saarbrücken, and Wehen mananged to squeeze by Burghausen. For the victors, the battle for 3rd remains open. For the losers, the relegation mire just gets deeper. I can’t see any way back for Saarbrücken, and Burghausen is gonig to need some points quick before it gets hopeless.

The other huge result was Kiel’s thumping win over Münster. The Hosteiners (actually the “Storks”) had been sinking and desperately needed a result, which lifted them from the relegation zone. Their spot was taken by Chemnitz, who were unable to achieve anything against Duisburg. The 3rd relegation spot is a dogfight…

Sunday was the Stuttgart mini-derby, and the Kickers continued their improved play, getting the win.
