SVWW wins in Osnabrück
FC St. Pauli successfully defended its lead in the 2nd Bundesliga. However, the still unbeaten neighborhood club had to settle for a 2-2 (0-1) draw at SC Paderborn on Saturday, so that city rivals Hamburger SV drew level on points and are only in second place due to the worse goal difference. HSV defeated SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2-0 (2-0) at home.
Despite the home advantage, VfL Osnabrück missed its second win of the season in a duel between two promoted teams against SV Wehen Wiesbaden and lost 0-2 (0-1). VfL remains second to last, while coach Markus Kauczinski’s team improved to eleventh place in the table after six league games without a win.
FC St. Pauli remains second division leader despite a 2-2 draw at SC Paderborn
FC St. Pauli remains at the top of the table, but has lost its two-point lead. In the game at SC Paderborn, Hamburg had to be content with a 2:2 (0:1). In front of 15,000 fans in the sold-out arena, Florent Muslija (8th minute) gave East Westphalia the lead with a remarkable long-range shot from his own half. St. Pauli pressed the opponent’s goal, especially in the second half, and seemed close to victory after goals from Johannes Eggestein (48th) and Jackson Irvine (78th). But Filip Bilbija (82nd) caused disillusionment.
Muslija scored a dream goal. After a bad pass from Elias Saad, the Paderborn midfielder pushed the ball into the opponent’s goal from around 55 meters. The deficit had a visible effect on St. Pauli. Although the guests took control, they only had their first chances to score shortly before the break. But shortly after the restart, the greater commitment was rewarded. Eggestein’s header provided additional momentum. When captain Irvine made it 2-1, St. Pauli thought they had reached their goal. But the East Westphalians, who were strong on the counterattack, hit back thanks to Bilbija.
Hamburg usury of opportunities: HSV defeats Fürth and draws level with St. Pauli
Despite a home win, Hamburger SV missed out on returning to the top of the table. The 2-0 (2-0) against Greuther Fürth wasn’t enough for the Hanseatic League because city rivals St. Pauli got a draw in Paderborn at the same time. Coach Tim Walter’s HSV team last topped the table on matchday five.
Jonas Meffert (16th minute) and Robert Glatzel (45th + 4) scored the goals for Hamburg, who missed numerous other chances. Fürth’s Branimir Hrgota (71st) missed the possible goal because HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes was able to parry his weakly shot penalty without any problems.

The game started with two injuries for the Hanseatic League. Ignace van der Brempt and Ludovit Reis had to be replaced with injuries. On the slippery pitch there were repeated interruptions due to injuries and ball losses. The level of the game increased in the second half, but there was not enough resistance from the guests. The Hamburg team had many promising scoring opportunities, but they handled them too carelessly.
Wehen Wiesbaden increases Osnabrück’s relegation worries
SV Wehen Wiesbaden has increased VfL Osnabrück’s relegation worries. In the duel between the promoted teams, coach Tobias Schweinsteiger Wehen Wiesbaden’s team lost 0:2 (0:1) and remains second to last in the table. Coach Markus Kauczinski’s team climbed into midfield after six league games without a win. Lee Hyun-Ju (9th minute) and Robin Heußer (70th) scored for Wehen Wiesbaden in front of 14,491 fans.
Despite the recent good results against promotion contenders Hamburger SV (2:1), Kaiserslautern (2:2) and Düsseldorf (1:1), the Osnabrück team started unsettled. VfL goalkeeper Lennart Grill made a save to prevent an own goal from Osnabrück’s Florian Kleinhansl (7th). SVWW offensive player Lee took the lead two minutes later when he scored from close range after a pass from Thijmen Goppel.
On the other side, Jannes Wulff missed the equalizer in front of Wehen’s keeper Florian Stritzl (20th). The guests remained the better team. Goalkeeper Grill reacted brilliantly against Amar Catic (26th), Kleinhansl saved five minutes later on the Osnabrück goal line.

The Schweinsteiger team took more risks after the break, but couldn’t get past the strong visiting goalkeeper Stritzl. The decision for Wehen Wiesbaden came with a dream goal: Heußer flicked a free kick from over 20 meters into the net (70th).
