At the start of the 22nd matchday in the 2nd Bundesliga, Karlsruher SC defeated Jahn Regensburg 1-0 and, with their third win in a row, moved further away from the relegation zone. After the ninth game in a row, Regensburg remains on the relegation zone without a win.
Mikkel Kaufmann scored the decisive goal in the first half. Kaufmann scored in the middle of a Regensburg urge to take the lead (24th) for KSC, favored by Sebastian Nachreiner’s careless loss of the ball. The 22-year-old KSC forward scored in his third straight game, underscoring his improving form.
Regensburg three times with aluminum, KSC more efficient
The KSC started powerfully in front of 18,000 spectators in the wildlife park. Regensburg only got into the game after 15 minutes, but all the more impressive: Andreas Albers failed with his header to KSC goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck, who still directed the ball to the post of the Karlsruhe goal.
Kaufmann did better right afterwards on the other side when Karlsruhe scored the opening goal. However, the home side continued to be negligent with their chances. However, Jahn was unlucky because Sarpreet Singh’s long-range shot only hit the crossbar (37th minute).
After the change of sides, things got hotter. The Regensburgers pushed for the compensation. This created spaces for KSC, but none of the counterattacks were consistently played to the end. But Jahn was also unsuccessful: Shortly before the final whistle, Singh attempted a shot at the goal posts again (90′).
