Results

Hamburg 1-2 Paderborn
Goals: 1-0 Bénes (11'), 1-1 Bilbija (21'), 1-2 Ansah (62')
Red cards: Bilbija (69'), Muheim (78')

Hamburg's promotion hopes were dealt a blow by Paderborn, who came from behind to win 2-1 at the Volksparkstadion. All appeared to be going to plan when László Bénes put the hosts in front with a sweet volley from outside the area. Filip Bilbija levelled within ten minutes, declining to celebrate against his former club, and Ilyas Ansah stunned the home fans as he put Paderborn in front on the hour mark. When Bilbija saw red for a foul, after a VAR review, Hamburg's hopes of recovering grew, but Miro Muheim followed him for an early bath ten minutes later and the hosts could not muster an equaliser, with Bénes and Jatta both hitting the woodwork deep into stoppage time on a frustrating day for Hamburg.

Greuther Fürth 1-1 Magdeburg
Goals: 1-0 Lemperle (59'), 1-1 El Hankouri (90')

Greuther Fürth missed the chance to move into the top three as Mo El Hankouri earned Magdeburg a last-gasp draw in Bavaria. Tim Lemperle put the Clover Leaves in front on the hour mark, but Fürth were made to pay for their wastefulness when El Hankouri struck a stunning equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time. It was almost the final kick of the game, denying Fürth the chance to respond and the chance to put more pressure on St. Pauli at the top of Bundesliga 2.

Kaiserslautern 1-2 Hertha Berlin
Goals: 1-0 Touré (16'), 1-1 Niederlechner (49'), 1-2 Kempf (81')

Florian Niederlechner inspired Hertha Berlin's recovery as they came from behind to beat Kaiserslautern 2-1. Almamy Touré opened his Bundesliga 2 account – becoming the 12th different player to score for the Red Devils this season – to give Kaiserslautern the lead after only 15 minutes. It was then backs-to-the-walls stuff as Hertha took charge, though itw as not until early in the second half that they levelled through Niederlechner. A red card for Afeez Aremu complicated matter for Kaiserslautern, but they held firm until the 81st minute, when Niederlechner turned provider for Marc-Oliver Kempf to clinch the winner after Krahl spilled the ball out to the central defender's feet.
