Waldhof Mannheim missed the leap to a promotion place at the start of the 3rd football league.
The Badeners conceded against Borussia Dortmund’s U23 after a slump in the final phase, despite an early lead with 1:3 (1:0), their second and home bankruptcy and thus continue to rank fifth.
Waldhof’s deficit on the relegation place and also the first promotion rank is two points. At the top, 1. FC Magdeburg has an eleven-point lead over pursuers 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Eintracht Braunschweig, who are tied on points.
Marc Schnatterer gave the home side the lead after nine minutes. But in the final sprint turned Ole Pohlmann (74.), Immanuel Pherai (90th) and Tobias Raschl (90th + 4th) the encounter still in favor of the Westphalia, their goalkeeper Stefan Drljaca a penalty kick from shortly after his team equalized Dominik Martinovic parried (79′). The Dortmund reserve improved one point behind Mannheim to seventh in the table, but would not be eligible for promotion at the end of the season.
