Darmstadt faced a stubborn Duisburg, and despite tons of pressure, the breakthrough came only in the dying minutes via a penalty.
Not surprisingly, Dominik Stroh-Engel made sure, with his 22nd goal – 10 more than the nearest rival in the league.
A huge win for Chemnitz in a relegation battle over Saarbrücken. This lifts CFC out of the drop zone, and may have condemned the revived FCS to relegation.
A last second goal gave Stuttgarter Kickers a win at Regensburg. The Kickers continue their amazing climb from the depths, their 9th straight undefeated match since the winter-break.
Kiel also got a huge win, as they kicked Wehen’s ass. The Holsteiners actually have a plus goal differential, which essentially gives them an extra point in this tight relegation battle. Wehen totally disappointed.
Unterhaching is the worst team in the second round, and the home loss to Münster drops them into the relegation zone. The ex-Bundesligist seemingly has a lot of promising youngsters, but they haven’t molded into an effective squad.
