Hamburger SV had the chance to take the lead in the 2nd division at least for one evening.
He left this chance at Greuther Fürth.
Chaser Heidenheim, on the other hand, was successful and won in Sandhausen.
1. FC Nürnberg stopped the negative run in Rostock with at least one point shared, Regensburg and Braunschweig also drew.
Hamburger SV has failed in the promotion race of the 2nd Bundesliga after two wins and missed their chance to jump to the top of the table.
At SpVgg Greuther Fürth, the mostly harmless team of coach Tim Walter lost 0:1 (0:1), but remains second behind Darmstadt 98.
Armindo Sieb (8th) scored for Fürth, who, under the new head coach Alexander Zorniger, got the third three in the third game and climbed up in midfield - thanks to the first win against Hamburg since 1964.
Sieb could have increased after the break, but HSV keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandez was there twice (55th/63rd).
Hamburg made an effort, but lacked precision.
Fürth was hardly in trouble, not even after the red card against Timothy Tillman (88th).
Hansa Rostock's new coach Patrick Glöckner has at least made a moderate debut with the second division soccer team.
Two days after the commitment of the second division novices to succeed the dismissed promotion coach Jens Härtel, Hansa remained without a win in their fourth home game in a row with a 1-1 (0-1) win against 1. FC Nürnberg.
Meanwhile, after their fourth game in a row without a sense of achievement at the weekend, the club is starting from a relegation zone in the first half of the final.
Fabian Nürnberger gave the guests the lead after just five minutes.
Substitute joker Nils Fröling (90+1) saved Glöckner from a complete false start to his engagement at Hansa with the late equalizer for the hosts.
1. FC Heidenheim is firmly established in the 2nd Bundesliga.
Coach Frank Schmidt's team won the south-west duel at SV Sandhausen 4-3 (2-0) on the 16th match day and secured the relegation spot.
Sandhausen is in 16th place in the table.
Tim Siersleben (31st), Tim Kleindienst (41st), Christian Kühlwetter (48th) and Kevin Sessa (73rd) gave FCH their third win in the last four games.
Sandhausen could still hope through Merveille Papela (50th), Christian Kinsombi (76th) and Alexander Esswein (80th) in the final phase.
The SSV Jahn Regensburg and Eintracht Braunschweig are still on the spot.
In a game with few highlights, Jahn and the newly promoted team from Lower Saxony drew 1-1 (1-1) on Wednesday.
Charalambos Makridis (11th minute) initially gave the hosts the lead, who fell back one place to tenth in the table after the draw.
Lion Lauberbach (14th) scored to equalize for Braunschweig, who was eleventh in the table.
