Sandhausen’s lead over the relegation place, where SG Dynamo Dresden is currently located, is another six points. Both teams played at eye level for long stretches. Cebio Soukou created the first dangerous situation, but failed to get through to Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj (33′). On the other side, Dario Dumic committed a foul on Burgstaller. The Austrian converted the penalty safely.
Three minutes after the break, Marcel Hartel missed the second goal for the guests, who were the better team in terms of play. The SVS, in which Captain Dennis Diekmeier was injured, had a hard time. But he came to the celebrated equalizer with Bachmann’s header.
