Round 21, Feb 13-16
A few of the favored sides had bad outings this round. Leaders Ingolstadt lost for only teh 2nd time, shockingly at home to Sandhausen. But the win was fair, as SVS wante the points badly and played well throughout, whereas the Schanzer seemed listless.
Düsseldorf also found themselves on the wrong end of the stick, as they were stunned at home by relegation threatened Aue. It was the first away win for Erzgebirge, who jump out of the drop zone.
Bochum beat down Braunschweig to slow down Eintracht’s rise and give signs that new coach Gert Verbeek has them on the right path.
Leipzig was another favorite that bit the dust at home. The RedBallers were stunned at home by low budget FSV Frankfurt. The Bornheimers neutralized the hosts in midfield, but in fairness, the RasenBulls created enough chances to at least draw. Still, a fine away result for FSV.
Kaiserslautern won easily against Aalen, primarily because the visitors did squat. FCK should have pushed hard for a few more goals, but I guess they decided an early pub visit was in order.
Karslruhe was ab=nother favorite that helped themselves, a hard fought regional derby at unlucky Heidenheim. FCH pressed hard for a goal, but a combo of luck and poor finishing helped KSC to grab the points.
