Snail races for climb

The SC Paderborn has given Big Points in the promotion race of the 2nd Bundesliga at the last moment. In the duel with the direct competitor Elversberg, the East Westphalia was not enough for Filip Bilbija to win. Florian Le Joncour shocked the SCP in added time. Only draws played the relegation candidates Regensburg and Braunschweig and Prussia Münster against Darmstadt 98 at the same time. While the Prussians make it exciting in the fight for relegation place 16 with SSV Ulm, the relegation from Regensburg with the missed threesome is hardly realistic.
The candidates for third place in the 2nd Bundesliga are currently facing a snail race. One day after the draw of the 1st FC Magdeburg, SC Paderborn and SV Elversberg also only came to a division of points in the direct duel at 1: 1 (0: 0). Both remain behind the Magdeburgers, who are a counter in front of Elversberg and Paderborn with 50 points. The two pursuers fought an intensive and balanced game in front of 14,179 spectators in Paderborn, in which Bilbija (56th minute) scored the lead for the East Westphalia before Le Joncour equalized in added time (90.+4).
Regensburg before relegation – Darmstadt finally saved
Jahn Regensburg has only maintained arithmetic chances of remaining in the 2nd Bundesliga. The bottom of the table in front of 13,773 spectators in the home stadium did not get over a 1: 1 (1: 1) against Eintracht Braunschweig and would now have to win all the remaining games and hope for the competition; Six points behind the 16th and 17th, Ulm and Münster, and the massively worse goal difference have the Upper Palatinate. Because Münster and Ulm still play against each other, the Jahn should not be enough for Jahn.
Robin Ziegele (4th minute) had put the Upper Palatinate in the lead, Jannis Nikolaou (6th) achieved the equalization for the guests. The return of the Jahn to the third class could be sealed the next Saturday after the game at 1. FC Köln. After the fifth game in a series without defeat, Braunschweig meanwhile finished 15th in 15 points ahead of SSV Ulm and the relegation place.
A disappointing tie against SV Darmstadt 98 has brought Prussia Münster into even greater shortage of relegation. The team of coach Sascha Hildmann had to be satisfied with a 1-1 (0: 1) in the home game against the Hesse and three game days before the end of the season because of the poorer goal difference was only last in the table behind Mit promoters SSV Ulm. With his equalizer in the 62nd minute, Joshua Mees saved a point for the place owners. Luca Marseiler (45.+1) met for the guests. The protégés of coach Florian Kohfeldt can no longer descend arithmetically.
