Against newly promoted 1. FC Magdeburg, the East Westphalians struggled 1-0 (0-0) after a long majority.
On Friday, 1. FC Heidenheim initially passed the SCP.
Substitute Marvin Pieringer (79th minute) scored for Lukas Kwasniok's team to win their fourth home game.
Magdeburg was decimated after a yellow-red against Jamie Lawrence (40th) and could no longer withstand the pressure from the hosts in the final phase.
With four points, Christian Titz's team is on a relegation zone, Paderborn already have twelve more points.
SpVgg Greuther Fürth's negative series has worsened across the season to 20 games in a row without a win.
Against FC St. Pauli, the Franconians did not get more than 2: 2 (0: 1) on the 7th matchday.
The last time Fürth, who was able to give up the place at the bottom of the table, had won against Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga.
Marcel Hartel (19th) put Hamburg in the lead.
Branimir Hrgota (48th) equalized for the hosts.
An own goal by St. Pauli captain Jackson Irvine (52nd) made it 2-1 for the home side.

Leart Paqarada also missed a penalty kick for the guests in the 72nd minute.

However, Regensburg have been waiting for a win for five games.
After conceding ten goals in two games, SSV Jahn acted much more stable on the defensive this time.
