Lions jump to the top

1860 Munich has stormed to the top of the table in the 3rd division with their third win in three games. Coach Michael Köllner’s team beat SV Meppen 4-0 (1-0) on Tuesday and impressively underlined their promotion ambitions. Martin Kobylanski (29′), Fynn Lakenmacher (63’/66′) and Stefan Lex (81′) scored the goals for the lions.

The first pursuer is currently the second representation of SC Freiburg, who won 2-0 (0-0) against bottom side Hallescher FC and jumped to second place in the table. An own goal by Niklas Landgraf (70′) and a goal by Davino Knappe (73′) led to victory for Freiburg, who had two more men after the 34th minute.

Promoted Rot-Weiss Essen, on the other hand, is still waiting for their first win. The traditional club lost 1: 4 (0: 2) to Viktoria Köln in front of 15,000 spectators and remains in a relegation zone after the second bitter home defeat with only one point. It was the second win of the season for Cologne.

Meanwhile, SV Elversberg continues to cause a sensation. The Saarlanders, who had already knocked out Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB Cup, won 3-2 (1-0) at co-promoted VfB Oldenburg. MSV Duisburg celebrated their first success of the new season. The Zebras won 1-0 (1-0) at FSV Zwickau thanks to a goal by Chinedu Ekene (36th).
