2nd league
Karlsruhe (dpa) – Karlsruher SC suffered a setback in the fight for relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga.
Due to the 0:2 (0:1) in the catch-up game of the 20th matchday against the new table 15. SV Sandhausen is still six points ahead of the relegation place, but only three over Sandhausen. Pascal Testroet (45+2) and six minutes from time Jerome Gondorf scored an own goal for SVS, who clinched their second win in a row. The southwest duel had been postponed due to numerous corona cases at KSC.
Even in the early stages, the guests presented themselves with self-confidence. At first there was no getting past KSC goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck. Testroet failed twice (15th/19th). The hosts, where Werder Bremen’s loanee Benjamin Goller made his debut, waited and see. In the first home game after the compulsory Corona break, Marc Lorenz set the first accent. He failed on the crossbar. Testroet did better on the other side and scored just before half-time.
The lead gave Sandhausen a boost. The 6532 spectators, on the other hand, became restless. The whistles didn’t help your team. The best opportunity to equalize was missed by Daniel Gordon, who also failed on the crossbar (73′). The game was decided with Gondorf’s unsuccessful attempt to clear into his own goal.
