Fortuna Dusseldorf winger Klaus scores
Leaders St. Pauli faced Karlsruhe away and was left footed by the opposing centre-back Frank in the opening two minutes, although captain and Australian international midfielder Erwin pulled a point back with a header, but in the second half Mainz loaner and German striker Nebel counter-attacked, giving Karlsruhe the lead again, and it was the second yellow card for left centre-back Val, who was sent off in the 77th minute, leaving the team unable to recover.

St. Pauli's centre-back Val dyes red
St. Pauli lost and their title rivals Kiel continued their winnings, with a 4-0 win away to Nuremberg for their biggest win of the round, with Nuremberg's England winger Humber being sent off after just 12 minutes in succession. After that, Kiel made a big shot, first captain Sandel assisted Serbia international central defender Ivezic to break the deadlock with a header from a corner kick, and before half-time, veteran Skorzybski assisted a brace to help the striker duo Machino Shuto and Bernhudson score, and 11 minutes before the end, substitute midfielder Lemberg scored the decisive word. Kiel's four-game winning streak and five-game unbeaten run narrowed the gap on St. Pauli to two points. Nuremberg, for their part, have all but lost hope of qualifying for promotion.
Ividic scores with a hammer

Fortuna Dusseldorf have won four in a row and are on their longest unbeaten run in the Bundesliga with eight games, and despite their recent good form, Braunschweig is still at a clear disadvantage against Fortuna Dusseldorf. Fortuna Dusseldorf's left and right wingers Tzzolis and Klaus each scored a goal to help the team win 2-0 and remain in third place. Hamburg didn't let up either, winning 2-1 at home to Kaiserslautern. Midfielder ace Benes broke the deadlock with his 13th Bundesliga goal of the season, and although it was tied at one point, it was Polish midfielder Poreba who scored his first goal of the season to secure a crucial three points. Hamburg is fourth, still just one point behind Fortuna Dusseldorf.
