1. FC Saarbrücken took advantage of the corona-related game cancellation of rival 1. FC Kaiserslautern in the 3rd football league and temporarily conquered second place in the promotion.

The Saarlanders won 2-0 (0-0) against the second team of Borussia Dortmund in their own stadium on Wednesday evening and thus passed FCK, who could not play at TSV 1860 Munich due to numerous corona cases.

Saarbrücken - Adriano Grimaldi, who was outstanding last weekend, gave the hosts the lead in the 51st minute.

Minos Gouras (79th) got the final score in the closing stages.

Saarbrücken also passed Eintracht Braunschweig and will now meet leaders 1. FC Magdeburg on Saturday.
