Newcomer 1. FC Kaiserslautern got off to a very good start in the 2nd Bundesliga and is right at the top of the table. But in the game against the co-promoted 1. FC Magdeburg, who is hanging in the basement, there is no victory after a turbulent game. Things are going better for Kiel and Hanover.
Holstein Kiel - SV Sandhausen 1:0 (0:0)
Thanks to Steven Skrzybski's fourth goal of the season, second division soccer team Holstein Kiel has redeemed itself for the 7-2 defeat at SC Paderborn a week ago. The attacker's long-range shot in the 72nd minute brought the North Germans a not undeserved 1-0 (0-0) win over SV Sandhausen.
In front of 10,000 spectators, including Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther, the first 45 minutes offered a sporting highlight. In the 39th minute, guest captain Alexander Schirow failed with a header at Kiel goalkeeper Thomas Dähne.
Even after the change of sides, the hosts needed a warm-up phase to get a better grip on the game, but the goal of the day came practically out of nowhere. After this defeat, the Palatinate are still waiting for their first away point.
Hannover 96 - SpVgg Greuther Furth 2: 1 (0: 0)
Hannover's coach Stefan Leitl celebrated the hoped-for success at the emotional reunion with the former club. 96 won against SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2:1 (0:0) and plunged the clover even deeper into the crisis.
After the third win in a row, Hannover is on the way up. Fürth, on the other hand, remained without a win on the sixth day of the game, and the Franconians have been waiting for a threesome for 18 games across the season. The pressure on Leitl successor Marc Schneider is increasing.
Maximilian Beier (52nd) provided the lead, Afimico Pululu (81st) equalized. But just the Ex-Fuerther Havard Nielsen (86th) scored the acclaimed winning goal. Leitl was under contract with SpVgg for more than three years until the summer, and in 2021 he even led the cloverleaf to the upper house. "Of course it's a special game," emphasized Leitl. Part of his family had come all the way from Bavaria. And she saw a balanced game in the first half without any major highlights. After falling behind, Fürth made an effort and was initially rewarded by Pululu - before Nielsen struck.
1. FC Kaiserslautern - 1. FC Magdeburg 4: 4 (2: 3)
1. FC Kaiserslautern missed out on a promotion place despite a furious performance in Betzenberg style. Despite being in the lead twice, the four-time champions did not go beyond a 4:4 (2:3) in the promoted duel against 1. FC Magdeburg on the 6th matchday.
Terrence Boyd (7th), Boris Tomiak (40th), Philipp Hercher (47th) and Mike Wunderlich (66th) scored for the Red Devils with a penalty kick after video evidence. Moritz Kwarteng (11th/22nd) and Mo El Hankouri (17th) were successful for FCM. There was also an own goal by Tomiak (80th).
The 35,643 spectators in the Fritz Walter Stadium saw an exciting and extremely intense game in the first half. After the early FCK lead, Magdeburg turned up the heat with three goals in a row within eleven minutes. The hosts fought their way back into the game and made the connection. With the narrow deficit at the break, the Palatinate were well served overall.
The second round was turbulent, and it only took 90 seconds for Hercher to equalize. Even after the goal, the game continued to swing back and forth. Both teams were close to scoring another goal. Wunderlich scored from the point, Tomiak's unfortunate own goal suited the crazy game.
