Round 35, May 2-3
It’s officially over for Regensburg, as Jahn becomes the first relegated side, losing in Halle. Next year the “Bayern-liga”
Duisburg is driving to the 2.Liga. The Zebras beat down Preußen Münster to vault over Kiel into 2nd. After a near collapse in teh relegation year, MSV has recovered and
Bielefeld was hoping to drive in the final nail for promotion, but was unable to beat down Kiel. The hosts were much improved from the midweek 0-4 Cup drubbing at the hands of Wolfsburg, but despite nursing the lead until the very end, they just weren’t able to put things away. Kiel remains on target, but they will have to battle out with Duisburg for the 2nd promotion spot.
Unterhaching showed great spirit in coming from behind constantly against Cottbus and wringing out a draw. However the fierce relegation struggle remains. Mainz-II got a critical win against in-form Sonnnehof, and was able to leap over the mini-Münch(en)kins
Stuttgarter Kickers are almost done. They needed a win, but were stunned at home by Dresden. Things looked especially grim as they were down 1-3 and down a man. But they put in a last great effort to level the score, only to lose at the end. Even with a point, things were looking grim for promotion, and it is just about finished now.
Dortmund-II took their last slim chance to save themselves and defeated VfB-II. It’s still going to be very difficult, but they have a chance. The Neon Bubis are coached by ex-US international David Wagner.
Erfurt gets a draw! Woo-hoo! OK, there was a tiny reason to celebrate for RWE in their draw at Fortuna Köln. If they had lost Erfurt would have broken the 3.Liga record for consecutive losses at 9 (dubious honor goes to Werder Bremen-II). Of course even this will come with some flak, since they blew a two goal lead and should have had a win…
