Sandhausen struggled against crap Jena, but snatched a goal near the end to reclaim the top spot. Meanwhile, the “Ostalderby” saw Heidenheim beat down Aalen in a hotly contested match.
Heidenheim moves ahead of Regensburg for the coveted playoff spot. Jahn had a rough time in Erfurt, but was able to hold off the ex-commies. Heidenheim’s win establishes them as a truw contender for promotion, in a hotly contested struggle for 3rd place.
A hard fought match in Offenbach looked to peter out to a draw until Kickers scored 3 goals in the last 5 minutes or so. Osnabrück pretty much is finished from any contention now, but the Kickers still can hold out hope.
Oberhausen managed a win against Regensburg, but it may be too late for RWO to save their ass, since they still have a steep hill to climb.
