1860 Munich has lost its place in the promotion zone in the 3rd division for the time being due to an autumn crisis. Due to a 0:2 (0:1) at the reserves of Bundesliga club SC Freiburg, the lions fell back to fifth place.
The Giesinger had nothing to counter the goals of Lars Kehl (5th) and Mika Baur (64th). Although Freiburg climbed to second place, it is not eligible for promotion.
In 1860, after SV Wehen Wiesbaden, 1. FC Saarbrücken also had to pass. The Saarlanders remained unbeaten in the 3:1 (3:0) against newly promoted VfB Oldenburg in their fifth game under their new coach Rüdiger Ziehl and celebrated their fourth success.
Marvin Cuni (8′), Julian Günther-Schmidt (25′) and an own goal by the guests through Marcel Appiah (31′) made everything clear for FCS before the break. In the second round, Oldenburg only managed to improve the result through Ayodele Adetula (75th).
Waldhof Mannheim meanwhile has the promotion region back in sight thanks to its 2-1 (0-0) win against relegation candidate FSV Zwickau. Pascal Sohm was the match winner for the hosts with a brace (77th and 90th). Zwickau only managed to equalize temporarily through Yannic Voigt (79th).
Osnabrück lands liberation
In the lower part of the table, VfL Osnabrück increased its cushion in the relegation zone by beating SC Verl 2-1 (0-1).
The hosts turned back a deficit at the break with goals from Erik Engelhardt (73′) and Omar Traore (87′). The Westphalian guests took the lead through Yari Otto (41st).
The bottom line is that SV Meppen stayed the same: The Emslanders hoped in vain for a sense of achievement for the twelfth time in a row with their zero number at promoted Rot-Weiss Essen.
In the last ten minutes, Essen did not use a superior number due to a yellow-red card against Ole Käuper to win. Shortly before the break, the encounter had to be temporarily interrupted due to a medical emergency in the interior.
