Kiezkicker win in the north derby
Braunschweig is still in the table cellar

Eintracht Braunschweig is still stuck in the table cellar. In the north derby, the harmless Lower Saxony against FC St. Pauli do not come into play. Hamburg, on the other hand, climb into the top half of the table with the win.

FC St. Pauli remains the team of the hour in the 2nd Bundesliga. In the north derby, the best team in the second half of the season, Eintracht Braunschweig, had no chance at 2-0 (2-0) and moved up to eighth place in the table. Omar Marmoush (7th minute) and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (14th) scored the goals for the Kiezkicker, who lost only one of their last nine games. The last up-and-coming guests suffered a setback after five games without defeat and go from relegation rank 16 to the next derby at the weekend against VfL Osnabrück.

“We just talked about the fact that we could have downplayed the thing more clearly,” said Kyereh after the win, which was clearly too low. “But we won 2-0, we can live with that,” added the eight-time goal scorer. The Lower Saxony were not at all satisfied. “We lost the game in the early stages because we were too harmless, too cautious,” said Eintracht striker Nick Proschwitz self-critically.

For the staff-stricken Braunschweiger, who had to replace two professionals and head coach Daniel Meyer because of positive corona tests, as well as three other regular employees, things really turned out to be sticky. Marmoush made his opponent Nico Klaß look old and shot dry with the first chance for a quick lead. Seven minutes later, the goalscorer set Kyereh in the scene, the goalkeeper Jasmin Fejzic and scored safely. Marmoush (18th / post header) and Guido Burgstaller (35th), who moved free-standing, missed the early preliminary decision.

After the break, the home side continued to attack the guests, who had barely appeared in the offensive. But Rodrigo Zalazar (48th), Burgstaller (52nd), Marmoush (54th) and Lukas Daschner (73rd) pursued usury of opportunities. In return, Proschwitz had the first chance for Eintracht without a win, but he forgave (74th). Igor Matanovic (90th) for St. Pauli and on the other hand Patrick Kammerbauer (90th + 2) then missed the last few opportunities in the now snow-covered Millerntor Stadium.
