FC St. Pauli remains the measure of all things in the 2nd Bundesliga.
The table leaders from Hamburg won the north duel with promoted Hansa Rostock at home Millerntor with 4: 0 (2: 0), Jackson Irvine (12th minute), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (18th), Guido Burgstaller (61st) and Simon Makienok (78th) scored the goals.
In their fifth league win in a row, St. Pauli managed to combine joy of playing with efficiency in front of goal.
After a leisurely start, Irvine and Kyereh made everything clear with two header hits, Hansa goalkeeper Markus Kolke initially prevented a higher deficit with his saves.
That followed after the break: After Burgstaller's first attempt after being sidelined by Irvine was denied (50th) and Kyereh hit the post (53rd), Burgstaller's next successful conclusion had passed.
Joker Makienok scored the 27th goal of the season for the Kiezklub.
The sporting crisis of SV Werder Bremen is also worsening in the second Bundesliga.
At SV Sandhausen, before the table-16 game.
and the club with the worst home record in the league, the Bundesliga relegated from Bremen did not get more than 2: 2 (1: 1).
Bremen took the lead early on, and Nicolai Rapp, who had moved into the penalty area, used fine preparatory work by left-back Marco Friedl to make it 1-0 (12th minute).
Afterwards, however, Werder lost the fruits of their own work: central defender Lars-Lukas Mai made a bad pass through which Bashkim Ajdini was able to approach Werder goal alone and was knocked off his feet by goalkeeper Michael Zetterer (27th).
Pascal Testroet (29th) converted the penalty, the former Werder talent has been storming for the sand houses since this season.
Until the break, the Bremen team was lucky not to lag behind the brave SVS. Only after the break did Werder have more and more chances, Markus Anfang brought in Niclas Füllkrug as the second striker - but paid for the offensive risk with the goal: Testroet headed in free-standing (84th). Füllkrug, who was released from training during the week because of an argument with Werder official Clemens Fritz, saved the point with his first competitive goal since May (90th + 2). Striker partner Marvin Ducksch even missed the chance to win with a free kick to the crossbar in stoppage time (90 + 4).
Jahn Regensburg has defended his second place in the German lower house of football.
A 3-1 (2-0) home win was achieved against Hannover 96.
After Sarpreet Singh's opening goal (17th), Carlo Boukhalfa benefited from an uncertainty in Hanover's goalkeeper Martin Hansen, who misjudged a falling ball and conceded the second goal from close range.
Hannover didn't open up and came back into the game with a free kick by Sebastian Kerk, which landed in the far corner (55th).
But it wasn't enough to compensate, Joël Zwarts made everything clear late (90th).
