Third division football club VfL Osnabrück has stopped its series of defeats and can breathe again.
After the last three bankruptcies in a row, the traditional Lower Saxony club defeated Hallesche FC 3-2 (1-2) after falling behind twice and is now four points ahead of the relegation zone.
Jannes Wulff (22nd), Sören Reddemann (59th, own goal) and Erik Engelhardt (66th) scored for the lilac-whites in front of 13,262 spectators at the Bremen Bridge.
Halle, which is only one point ahead of the first relegation zone, scored goals through Tom Zimmerschied (4th) and Niklas Kreuzer (24th, penalty kick).
