Hamburger initially in 1st place
FC Schalke 04 missed the leap into the promotion zone of the 2nd Bundesliga. The Bundesliga relegated team couldn’t get more than 1-1 (1-1) at Karlsruher SC in an intense and exciting game on Saturday. The Gelsenkirchen team, who, as announced, ran out without the lettering of their controversial Russian sponsor “Gazprom” on their shirts, took the lead with striker Simon Terodde’s 16th goal of the season (27th minute). Kyoung-rok Choi (34th) equalized for KSC in front of 15,000 spectators.
The guests, who started again in midfield with Yaroslav Mikhailov on loan from Zenit St. Petersburg, initially put Karlsruhe under pressure. But the hosts recovered quickly, which resulted in a balanced game at a high level in the second division. After Terodde had scored the goal to make it 0-1, Choi equalized from just a few meters away. Shortly before, KSC striker Philipp Hofmann had hit the right post from close range (30′).
FC St. Pauli temporarily takes first place in the 2nd division in Ingolstadt
FC St. Pauli set an example in the battle for promotion with a commanding victory over FC Ingolstadt, who are candidates for relegation. The Hamburgers moved up to the top of the table with the 3:1 (2:1) in the Audi Sportpark. It was a convincing reaction to the most recent 0:3 against Hannover 96 and at the same time a successful preparation for the DFB Cup quarter-finals next Tuesday at Bundesliga club Union Berlin.

For the Ingolstadt team, on the other hand, the home defeat is a hard hit in the fight to stay in the class. The direct return to the 3rd league is getting closer for the bottom of the table. St. Pauli was superior in front of 5,511 spectators and after goals from free-kick artist Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (22nd), goal scorer Guido Burgstaller (37th) and Simon Makienok (55th), who also headed the ball against the post (61st .), the deserved winner. The hosts equalized through attacker Dennis Eckert Ayensa (34th) to make it 1-1.
