SV Meppen beat Dynamo Dresden 4-1 (0-1) in their last home game of the current third league season. The Emslanders, who had already been relegated, improved to 17th place.
VfL Osnabrück now has promotion to the second division in their own hands. If they beat Borussia Dortmund's reserves on Saturday and defend their better goal difference against SV Wehen Wiesbaden, Tobias Schweinsteiger's team will be promoted directly.
