Jokers do their job
Regensburg bites firmly, Heidenheim breaks free
Jahn Regensburg is apparently up to something. Bayern will not give up and are at the top of the table in the second division. The situation in Düsseldorf is completely different. The relegation zone is getting closer and closer to them – also because Heidenheim ended his little black series at the last minute.

Jahn Regensburg vs Dynamo Dresden 3: 1 (1: 0)
The surprise team Jahn Regensburg stubbornly remains in the top group of the 2nd Bundesliga. The Upper Palatinate won against Dynamo Dresden 3-1 (1-0) and climbed to second place for the time being. Benedikt Saller (34th), Kaan Caliskaner (80th) and Charalambos Makridis (82nd) shot the Jahn to victory in front of 3418 spectators. Christoph Daferner (47th) scored for the Saxons. For Regensburg it was the first success in the ninth second division duel with the Saxons. Dresden remains in the lower third of the table after the ninth loss of the season.
The first half clearly belonged to the home side. Leon Guwara (12th) and left winger Sarpreet Singh (16/26) missed an early preliminary decision despite great chances. Finally, Saller rewarded the superior Regensburg with a direct shot from around ten meters.
After the break, the self-sacrificing fighting guests initially seemed much more alert. Daferner headed a well-deserved compensation after a cross from Morris Schröter, which Jahn coach Mersad Selimbegovic did not want to be satisfied with. He switched the offensive forces Caliskaner and Makridis, who immediately fulfilled their joker job.
Fortuna Düsseldorf vs. 1. FC Heidenheim 0: 1 (0: 0)
With its first away win in more than two months, 1. FC Heidenheim has fought its way closer to the top group. Coach Frank Schmidt’s team won 1-0 (0-0) at Fortuna Düsseldorf. Robert Leipertz (90. + 2) released the guests with his goal in stoppage time and shot the FCH for the first away win since the 3-1 in Sandhausen on September 18. Heidenheim (24 points) is now sixth, Düsseldorf (16) has to move downwards. The relegation places are threateningly close.
Düsseldorf got off to a good start and quickly came up with the first chances – but after the first quarter of an hour the guests were able to free themselves from their grip. As a result, a game developed with only a few playful highlights and numerous duels.
In the second round, the game remained open and at a moderate level. Düsseldorf, who have now been waiting for a win for four games, tried to increase the pressure. Fortuna striker Rouwen Hennings and Co. could only rarely create opportunities against the attentive defensive of the FCH and were punished late when Leipertz scored to win.
