St. Pauli 1-0 Jahn Regensburg
Goals: 1-0 Osei Owusu o.g. (23')

St. Pauli's remarkable recent run continued with victory over Jahn Regensburg - their ninth in succession.

It keeps Fabian Hürzeler's side in with a chance of what would be an incredible promotion considering the team were in the bottom three as recently as Matchday 16.

Karlsruhe 1-1 Eintracht Braunschweig
Goals: 0-1 Lauberbach (4'), 1-1 Jensen (69')
Red card: Fejzic (69')

Karlsruhe were held to a draw at home to 10-man Eintracht Braunschweig in what was a hard-fought point for both sides. It was in fact the visitors that took the lead after only four minutes as Lion Lauberbach opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the campaign. It took Karlsruhe over an hour to finally pull themselves level, with Leon Jensen on target, and their chances of victory increased in the aftermath of that goal as Jasmin Fejzic was shown a second yellow card for his complaints over the equaliser. Karlsruhe couldn't make their advantage count, though, and the spoils were shared.

Dickson Abiama and Branimir Hrgota struck late on to threaten a comeback, but the hosts held firm. Paderborn jump into fifth place, are now just seven points back from the top three and still in contention for a promotion place, while the Clover Leaves slip to 12th.

Masaya Okugawa restored his side's two-goal lead just after half time, but Holmbert Fridjonsson kept the home side in with a shout by registering his second league goal of the season.
