Holstein Kiel just keeps winning. Against Osnabrück they achieved their fifth three-pointer in a row without conceding a goal. The Düsseldorf Fortuna also continues to be successful.
Holstein Kiel’s first promotion to the Bundesliga is becoming increasingly likely. Coach Marcel Rapp’s team clearly won 4-0 (2-0) against bottom-placed VfL Osnabrück and took the lead in the table, at least for one day.
However, FC St. Pauli can overtake Kiel again with a win against Elversberg on Sunday. After two recent wins, Osnabrück showed an overall weak performance and remains in 18th place, still six points behind the relegation place.
Kiel dominated the game at will in front of 15,034 spectators in the sold-out Holstein Stadium. Before the break, Steven Skrzybski (9th minute) and Philipp Sander (38th) gave the hosts a deserved lead. After the break, Timo Becker (76th) and Alexander Bernhardsson (84th) increased for the strong Kiel team, for whom it was their fifth win in a row without conceding a goal.
Fifth win in a row: Düsseldorf in promotion form
Fortuna Düsseldorf also wins again in the promotion battle. Coach Daniel Thioune’s team won 2-0 (0-0) at SV Wehen Wiesbaden in the 2nd Bundesliga thanks to goals from Shinta Appelkamp (13th minute) and Isak Johannesson (64th). After the fifth win in a row, Fortuna is four points ahead of the Hanseatic League in third place ahead of Sunday’s game against Hamburger SV in Magdeburg.
KSC loses connection
Karlsruher SC couldn’t get past a 1-1 draw at SC Paderborn and therefore has little chance of being promoted to the Bundesliga. A goal from Igor Matanovic (26th minute) ensured the draw. Sirlord Conteh (21st) had previously shot Paderborn into the lead when KSC was outnumbered. Shortly beforehand, David Herold was injured and had to be substituted later.
