In the second home game under coach Markus Weinzierl against Hannover 96, 1. FC Nürnberg missed out on their first success in front of their own supporters with the 47-year-old trainer.

In a duel characterized by compact defensive lines, the two teams drew 0-0.

In front of 28,422 spectators, both the Nurembergers and the guests from Lower Saxony, who are coached by former Fürth coach Stefan Leitl, lacked brilliant ideas on the offensive.

The clearly stabilized "Club" remained unbeaten in the third competitive game in a row and also kept a clean sheet.

The Franconians had a great chance to take the lead after less than two minutes.

A cross pass from Kwadwo Duah on the right landed right in Christoph Daferner's run.

But Hanover's goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler prevented the deficit with his foot.

The great respect between the two teams, who had also been in action in the DFB Cup during the week, was evident afterwards.

The "club" was waiting for counterattack chances, Hannover took control of the ball.

Shortly after the restart, Jens Castrop (50th) missed another chance to take the lead in Nuremberg.

The Hanoverians then shifted the game more and more into the half of the Franconians, but they could not celebrate a goal either.

Paderborn only a draw

There were also no goals in Braunschweig when the performance was 0:0.

But Eintracht Braunschweig prevented SC Paderborn from jumping back up to the top of the table.

In front of 16,000 spectators, Eintracht showed a disciplined defensive performance against the SCP, who have scored the most goals in the league so far.

Most recently, the guests were enthroned at the top of the table after the eighth matchday.

At the end of the game, the hosts could even have made it 1-0.

The game got off to a furious start: Keita Endo missed the opening goal with a double chance (4') from close range, and immediately afterwards Anton Donkor hit the left post.

Shortly thereafter, Paderborn's Robert Leipertz (6th) failed freely in front of the Eintracht goal.

Lukas Kwasniok, coach of SC Paderborn, made six changes to the starting eleven after the exhausting victory in the DFB Cup on penalties against Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.

Braunschweig also changed five positions compared to the starting eleven when they were eliminated in the cup against VfL Wolfsburg.

SSV Jahn Regensburg coped well with the end of the DFB Cup and clinched the next win in the league.

The Oberpfälzer won on Saturday at home against SV Sandhausen 2:1 (1:1) and consolidated their position in the middle of the table.

Sandhausen, on the other hand, missed the three points in front of 8123 spectators and thus missed the chance to move up into the middle of the table.

Regensburg started the game furiously.

40 seconds were played when Sandhausen's Aleksandr Zhirov headed the ball into his own goal.

However, the guests were not deterred by the deficit and earned the equalizer (12th) through Alexander Esswein.

The former Bundesliga professional completed a cross worth seeing with the outside instep into the far corner.

It was a balanced game with chances for both sides.

After the break, Regensburg again got off to a better start against low-lying sand houses.

Visiting goalkeeper Nikolai Rehnen was initially able to parry Andreas Albers' header (53'), but a little later he had no chance when the Dane shot (70').

In a heated final phase, the home side defended consistently and saved the result over time.
