Paderborn let their lead slip

There was also an early goal in Hannover. Hiroshi Kiyotake’s diving header put the hosts in front after three minutes and they never looked back. An own goal by Freiburg’s Pavel Krmas put the Reds one step closer to safety and although Nils Petersen got one back for the visitors in injury time, they fail to beat the drop.
Olic fires HSV to safety
It took HSV 49 minutes to hit the front in front of 57,000 spectators in the Imtech Arena. Ivica Olic powerfully volleyed home to send the majority of the spectators into ecstasy. Slobodan Rajkovic doubled the lead just under ten minutes later. The northern club aren’t safe yet – they will take part in the upcoming relegation play-off.
Anthony Modeste gave Hoffenheim the lead after eight minutes in Sinsheim. The club from the capital levelled through Roy Beerens (72’) but Roberto Firmino grabbed a winner for the hosts with just 10 left on the clock.
