A respectable result for Wuppertal, against a tough opponent. However, the most significant results were elsewhere. Homburg's continued streak (5 wins) was extended with a huge win in Siegen. Meanwhile Trier, which had led virtually from the start, had to settle for a draw against revitalized(?) Ahlen, and Oberhausen also managed to win against a tough Verl squad. The net is that Trier is now not even in a playoff spot. Paderborn's crushing of Essen merely reinforces the crisis at Rot-Weiss, and the battle at the bottom intensifies. Teveren needs some big results quickly, or they're history.
