Before the international break, Arminia Bielefeld showed in a 4-2 (2-0) home win against Kiel that they can still win after their recent mixed performances.
The poor exploitation of the Kiel chances came at the right time for the Arminen.
In Darmstadt, the Lilien secured second place in the table in a 2-0 (2-0) win against a weak Nürnberger and scored 38 and 39 goals against their favorite opponent in the 2nd division - more than against any other club.
The combative East duel decided ice-cold final Rostock against largely game-determining Magdeburg 3:1 (2:0) for themselves.
In Bielefeld, the ball was in the goal after 18 seconds, but there was only celebration two minutes later: When Janni Serra crossed into the penalty area, goalscorer Robin Hack was supposedly offside.
Referee Arne Aarnink checked the video images and ruled 1-0 for Arminia Bielefeld.
Kiel then turned up the heat, had over 60 percent possession and chances almost every minute, but Fin Bartels didn't hit the ball properly (8th minute) and Patrick Erras headed into the arms of Arminia goalkeeper Martin Fraisl (19th).
Instead, an ex-Kieler scored on the other side: after Hack's cross into the penalty area, Serra rose unchallenged in the middle and headed in to make it 2-0 (36').
After a cross pass from Bryan Lasme, Masaya Okugawa pushed in safely to make it 3-0 (48').
When Alexander Mühling made it 1: 3, the jubilation of the Kiel team was not very euphoric (59th).
Shortly thereafter, Kiel was back in the game after a long throw-in and Bartels' 2:3 (68').
As a result, dangerous crosses sailed into the Bielefeld penalty area every minute, but Arminia scored again: Manuel Prietl took the ball from Bartels in the penalty area and the counterattack via Hack and Lasme was completed by the latter from 16 meters into the far corner to make it 4-2 (85 minutes). .).
In the 22 second division duels with the Lilies, Nuremberg conceded 37 goals, more than in the second division against any other club.
This time, too, the ball was in the Nuremberg goal early: Braydon Manu had received the ball on the right in the penalty area and served Tobias Kempe in the middle – 1-0 for Lilien (8th).
Lucky for Darmstadt: referee Christian Dingert allowed play to continue after Jannik Müller's handball in the penalty area (18').
After a Darmstadt corner on the first post, Philipp Tietz prevailed in an aerial duel against Sadik Fofana and headed into the right corner to make it 2-0 (27th).
Throwing cans at Böllenfalltor
After the break, Darmstadt continued to put pressure on, especially through the lively Manu.
His shot from 18 meters flew well over the goal (56th).
Then the excitement of the game: Kempe wanted to take a corner in front of the Nuremberg block and was hit in the head by a cup.
The game was then briefly interrupted.
Kempe rubbed his head briefly and then continued playing.
Nuremberg threw everything forward, had chances with a long-range shot from Tempelmann (68') and a header from Pfeiffer (69'), Johannes Geis was only able to stop the counterattack that followed with a foul on Manu and consequently saw a yellow card (70'). ).
After that, Nuremberg no longer managed to appear dangerously in front of the Darmstädter Tor.
In the East classic between Hansa Rostock and 1. FC Magdeburg, the first half of a hard-fought game was clearly in the hands of the guests from Magdeburg.
And they also had the first big chance: a deflected shot by Luca Schuler flew in a high arc in the direction of the goal.
Lukas Scherff rushed over, headed the ball to the crossbar and from there into the arms of goalkeeper Markus Kolke (17').
A little later, Rostock punished a mistake in the Magdeburg game: Svante Ingelsson passed the ball to Kai Pröger, who took measure from the right and placed the ball in the lower left corner (30').
After a corner kick, Pröger was free again at the second post, was able to put the ball in its place and then completed it through Magedburg's defense to make it 2-0 (41') – a brace from Paderborn.
Lukas Fröde's goal was initially disallowed due to an alleged offside position - after VAR switched on it was 3-0 for Hansa (62).
After Ryan Malone fouled Tatsua Ito, Barış Atik took the penalty for Magdeburg and was denied by Kolke (83').
The exuberant jubilation of the Rostock back team showed the importance of this victory for Hansa.
Shortly before the end, the ball fell in front of Atik's feet again in the same place and he pushed in the 1:3 consolation goal (90+4).
