Matchday 25 round-up

Darmstadt 3-2 Heidenheim
Goals: 0-1 Kühlwetter 17' (assist: Schimmer), 0-2 Leipertz 61' (assist: Schimmer), 1-2 Seydel 77' (assist: Mehlem), 2-2 Tietz 81' (assist: Kempe), 3-2 Skarke 83' (assist: Schnellhardt)

All looked lost with just a quarter of an hour remaining for a Darmstadt side chasing a place at the top of the table. Christian Kühlwetter’s close-range finish and a further strike from substitute Robert Leipertz shortly after the hour mark had the visitors in command at the Stadion am Böllenfalltor. However, when Aaron Seydel ran through on goal and slotted a finish between the legs of Heidenheim ‘keeper Kevin Müller, it was suddenly game on. Phillip Tietz subsequently headed in from Tobias Kempe’s set piece to level things up before Tim Skarke’s long-range effort somehow evaded Müller to send the home fans delirious and their team to the top of the overnight standings.

Holstein Kiel 3-4 Paderborn
Goals: 0-1 Schallenberg 19’ (assist: Justvan), 1-1 Arp 23' (assist: Reese), 1-2 Thalhammer 54' (assist: Muslija), 1-3 Muslija 74' (assist: Pröger), 1-4 Collins 76' (assist: Mehlem), 2-4 Mühling (pen.) 81', 3-4 Pichler 88' (assist: Reese)

A wild game at the Holstein-Stadion almost saw the visitors give up a commanding lead at the end, but Paderborn held out to keep their feint hopes of a promotion push alive. After Kiel hit a post in the early stages, Ron Schallenberg pounced on a loose ball to fire Lukas Kwasniok’s side in front. Undeterred, the hosts responded with Fabian Reese teeing up Fiete Arp for the equaliser. Kiel were left to regret spurned chances thereafter, for a mix up in the home area allowed Paderborn to forge ahead thanks to Maximilian Thalhammer. Another error in the home defence allowed Florent Muslija to extend his team’s lead and the side from North Rhine-Westphalia appeared to be out of sight when Jamilu Collins added a fourth moments later. However, after Alexander Mühling netted a penalty and Benedikt Pichler added another, Paderborn were left sweating before the end.
