Second division surprise team Jahn Regensburg took advantage of the problems of the big clubs and shot their way to the top of the table with a brilliant victory on matchday three.

The almost relegated last season duped Holstein Kiel on Saturday and added the third defeat in the third game to third in the previous season with a clear 3-0 (2-0).

Jahn, on the other hand, is still at the top with nine points without conceding a goal.

Goals from professional soccer player Max Besuschkow (20th minute) and captain Benedikt Gimber (40th / 58th) made the team of coach Mersad Selimbegovic cheer in front of 4000 spectators in Kiel. The storks, on the other hand, had a complete false start and were unexpectedly at the bottom of the table with zero points. With the victory in the north, Regensburg left Karlsruher SC, which had also won the first two games, behind them for the time being. On Saturday, the KSC did not get beyond a goalless draw in the Baden derby at SV Sandhausen.

The first win of the season was also won by 1. FC Nürnberg, who beat Fortuna Düsseldorf 2-0 (0-0).

Christopher Schindler (59th) hit the back of the head after a free kick and captain Enrico Valentini in the eighth minute of stoppage time with a penalty kick in front of a good 12,000 spectators for the club, which was still unbeaten in the young season.

Fortuna, however, received their second defeat in their second game under their new coach Christian Preusser.

“This league is rock hard

On Friday the big clubs FC Schalke 04 and once again Hamburger SV got to know the pitfalls of the league. For the 20th anniversary of the arena on Schalke, around 20,000 fans of the relegated team were shocked to the sobering 1-1 at the late equalization by FC Erzgebirge Aue. “No team will give us anything for free. This league is rock hard, ”commented Schalke coach Dimitrios Grammozis after Dominick Drexler's goals (32nd) for Schalke and Sascha Härtel (86th) for Aue. Thus, the battered Revierclub remained after the 1: 3 against HSV in the second home game of the season after relegation without a point three.

Hamburg also experienced a bitter evening at 2: 3 in the derby at the still undefeated FC St. Pauli. HSV is still not on track under the new coach Tim Walter. St. Pauli seemed more closed. "We now have to go deeper into the analysis, because it wasn't all bad, especially in the final phase," said Walter, who with the Hamburgers and Schalke only has four points after three games.
