Even after the coach change, the decline of the second division soccer team Erzgebirge Aue continues unchecked, Jahn Regensburg, on the other hand, has returned to the top of the table for at least one night.

The surprise team beat the bottom 3: 2 (2: 0) and worsened the crisis in Saxony five days after coach Alexej Schpilewski was kicked out.

1. FC Heidenheim won a promotion place at least temporarily.

Coach Frank Schmidt's team defeated Darmstadt 98 at the start of the eighth game day 2-1 (1-0) and moved up to second place with their third success in a row.

Tobias Mohr (40th, penalty kick) and Stefan Schimmer (84th) scored for Heidenheim.

Darmstadt is still waiting for an away win, and the interim equalization of Phillip Tietz (52nd) didn't change anything.

Jan-Niklas Beste (7th) and Max Besuschkow (11th) threw all plans of the Auer interim coach Marc Hensel overboard with two goals early on.

In front of 8127 spectators, the Jahn took advantage of the uncertainty of the violets, who had not yet internalized the system change due to the change of coach.

Substitute Nicolas Kühn (52nd) and Gaetan Bussmann (87th) equalized, but Andreas Albers (90th) secured Regensburg's victory.

For the hosts, a slack of three games ended without a win, which had cost them the championship lead last weekend.

On Saturday (1.30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for the second division and on Sky), SC Paderborn could be the first to replace them with a win against Holstein Kiel.

Aue is still waiting for the first win of the season, most recently there were five bankruptcies in a row.

In front of 5095 spectators, the hosts in Heidenheim had a great opportunity to take a tour right from the start.

But Tim Kleindienst put a penalty on the post (14th).

The striker had previously been fouled by Lasse Sobiech.

After Jan Schöppner had given the lead for Heidenheim (18th), Darmstadt got better into the game.

At the first good opportunity for the lilies, Luca Pfeiffer failed to goalkeeper Kevin Müller (26th).

Shortly before the break, there was the second penalty for the hosts.

Matthias Bader had entered the duel with Christian Kühlwetter too impetuously.

Mohr surely transformed.

Darmstadt got off to a better start in the second round.

Tietz met after Pfeiffer's pass.

Patrick Mainka had previously made a mistake in the setup of the game.
