The last third division match day had it all again. Both the three -way battle for the relegation and the relegation battle were only decided late.
Energie Cottbus played third place in the 3rd division on the last matchday. In a dramatic conference, the Lausitzer lost 1: 3 at home against FC Ingolstadt and had the 1. FC Saarbrücken passed by. The Saarlanders beat the U23 of the BVB 2-1 and thus jumped onto the relegation place. Hansa Rostock, on the other hand, had to be 1-2 at the Hannover 96 U23, which had already been deployed and ended the season in fifth place.
Borussia Dortmund’s U23 is now the last relegation, who could not catch up with the gap to Stuttgart II and Waldhof Mannheim. Mike Tullberg has to go to the Regionalliga West shortly after his job as a coach of the BVB second.
By the way, Arminia Bielefeld has become a master. The DFB Cup finalist defeated Mannheim 1-0 and no longer left Dynamo Dresden past himself. Dresden still had reason to celebrate. With a 3-0 home win against Unterhaching, the Saxons successfully passed from their own fans.

86th minute – gate for the 1. FC Saarbrücken! Patrick Schmidt hits the goal for the Saarlanders with the first touch of the ball, and he only came into play for Kai Brünker. The Ludwigspark trembles. But you have to honestly say that this gate was a clear offside position.

83th minute-Dortmund will soon have to throw everything forward because the BVB juniors need a victory in the fight for relegation. At the moment, however, even that would not be enough. It smells of descent.

76th minute – gate for Hannover 96 II! Is the bitter for Hansa Rostock. The weak Lower Saxony meet a little strange according to a standard, so Hansa is more or less out of the promotion race.
