Third division side SSV Jahn Regensburg is the team of the moment. The league leaders are on the verge of a record.

What a finish in the match between Dynamo Dresden and SSV Jahn Regensburg. This top-of-the-table clash in the 3rd division was thrilling right up to the last second.

The visitors had the better end of the deal: SSV Jahn won 1-0 (0-0) after 95 intense minutes in front of 29,578 spectators at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion, thus knocking Dresden off the top of the table. Florian Ballas headed in a corner from Tobias Eisenhuth in stoppage time to score the winning goal and silence the Dynamo fans.

With this goal, Ballas not only secured his team’s place at the top of the table, but also their ninth (!) win in a row. The last time head coach Joe Enochs’ team failed to leave the pitch as winners was on September 23, when they lost 1-2 at home to SV Sandhausen. Regensburg has now won every game for over two months.

It comes as no surprise that the league leaders are on course to break records. Ten wins in a row is the best record in the history of the 3rd division. This record was set by Karlsruher SC in the 2012/13 season. At that time, the Baden-based team won everything there was to win in the league between October 24 and January 26 and celebrated promotion to the 2nd division at the end of the season.

Regensburg is also well on its way to returning to the second division. They already have a comfortable ten-point lead over third-placed SC Verl and fourth-placed Rot-Weiss Essen.

To equal KSC’s third division record, the league leaders must defeat relegation-threatened SC Freiburg II on Sunday afternoon (December 3, 4:30 p.m.). On paper, it’s a very solvable task, but in this third division, anything is possible.

If they manage to secure three points against Freiburg II, SSV Jahn Regensburg could take sole possession of the record on the following matchday (December 10, 1:30 p.m.) with a home win against Viktoria Köln, thereby cementing their place in the history books of the third division.
