Kiel (dpa) - Holstein Kiel took advantage of the opportunity and made it to the top of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga at least by Saturday.
In the pursuit duel on Friday evening, thanks to a clear increase in performance in the second half, the North Germans won 3: 1 (1: 1) against VfL Bochum.
The storks overtook the previous leader SpVgg Greuther Fürth (18) in the table with 19 points, who will only receive 1. FC Heidenheim on Saturday (1 p.m.).
VfL Bochum (17) slipped to third place.
Alexander Mühling (31st minute / hand penalty after video evidence), Fin Bartels (64th) and Jae-Sung Lee (65th) scored the goals for the Kiel, who are increasingly becoming the league's surprise team.
Simon Zoller (33.) scored to compensate for the almost an hour better Bochumers.

Fortuna Düsseldorf, on the other hand, remains undefeated in their own stadium after a strong final phase and has made contact with the upper third of the table.
Five days after the 0: 5 bankruptcy at VfL Bochum, the team of coach Uwe Rösler turned a 1: 2 deficit against Darmstadt 98 to make it 3: 2 (0: 0) and won their fifth home game.
Substitute Dawid Kownacki scored the decisive goal in the 89th minute.
Before that, Rouwen Hennings (56th) and Kenen Karaman (77th) were successful for Düsseldorf, while Serdar Dursun (51th) and Tobias Kempe (67th / penalty kick) scored for Darmstadt.
Darmstadt initially took the initiative and developed several chances in the first quarter of an hour.
Shots from Kempe (9th) and Fabian Schnellhardt (10th) were able to parry Fortuna keeper Florian Kastenmeier before Darmstadt's Seung-Ho Paik hit the post (11th).
The Düsseldorfers revealed voting problems and made many bad passes.
Only in the second section did the hosts act more powerfully and were rewarded.
The guests took the lead twice after the break, but Fortuna did not give up - and rewarded themselves late.
