Newly promoted Eintracht Braunschweig has left the last three places in the 2nd Bundesliga for the first time this season.
With two goals from the outstanding Anthony Ujah, Lower Saxony defeated Karlsruher SC 2-1 (1-0).
The striker from Nigeria scored in the 44th and 72nd minutes on Friday evening after assists from Immanuel Pherai.
Braunschweig – Marvin Wanitzek equalized for KSC to make it 1-1 (54th).
Ujah, who has already played for FSV Mainz 05, 1. FC Köln, Werder Bremen and most recently 1. FC Union Berlin in the Bundesliga, is a key factor in Braunschweig's upswing.
Eintracht lost five of their first six games this season.
In three consecutive games without defeat, the 31-year-old was successful against Nuremberg (4:2), Hanover (1:1) and KSC.
Karlsruhe had more possession in the Eintracht Stadium, but Braunschweig were clearly more dangerous.
After Ujah's brace alone, they missed several opportunities to make it 3-1.
