Arminia Bielefeld overtakes Dynamo Dresden on matchday 11 thanks to a clear away win and is now second in the table. Alemannia Aachen celebrates another victory.
On Wednesday evening (October 23), the remaining five matches of the eleventh matchday of the third division were played. Rot-Weiss Essen suffered a 1-3 home defeat against SC Verl after a controversial sending-off and slipped to 16th place in the table.
Newly promoted Alemannia Aachen, on the other hand, jumped to eighth place thanks to a 3-1 win over SpVgg Unterhaching. Hachinger got off to the better start and took the lead after a quarter of an hour (15th minute) thanks to Lenn Jastremski. Before the break, coach Heiner Backhaus’s team equalized through Charlison Benschop.
The visitors from Bavaria came out of the break more active but failed to regain the lead. Instead, Sasa Strujic (70th minute) and substitute Thilo Töpken (85th minute) decided the game in favor of the Kaiserstädter. Unterhaching thus remains in second-to-last place in the table.
There was no winner in the clash between TSV 1860 Munich and bottom-placed VfL Osnabrück. Patrick Hobsch gave 1860 the lead in the 41st minute, but Joel Zwarts equalized immediately (43′). The second half was almost identical, with Maximilian Wolfram putting Munich back in front (76th minute) and Ba-Muaka Simakala equalizing from the penalty spot just three minutes later (79th minute). The final score was 2-2.
Dynamo Dresden remained winless for the fourth time in a row. Dynamo lost 0-1 (0-1) to second division relegation side Wehen Wiesbaden. Fatih Kaya scored the only goal of the game in the 21st minute. To make matters worse, coach Thomas Stamm’s team finished the game with only ten men after captain Stefan Kutschke was sent off for a rough foul in the 77th minute.
Arminia Bielefeld benefited from Dresden’s defeat, winning 4-1 (2-0) at Hannover 96’s second team. Julian Kania scored a hat trick (2nd, 42nd, 82nd) for Bielefeld, who moved past Dynamo into second place with the three points. Nick-Elias Meier scored the temporary equalizer (64th minute), and Merveille Biankadi sealed the final score shortly before the end (88th minute).
