Good effort by Wuppertal in Munester, but Preussen comes away with the points. A surprising effort by Essen in the Rot-Weiss derby against Oberhausen allows Homburg to grab the top spot again. Saarbruecken continues their good form in dropping Trier another notch, whereas Siegen continues their excellent run. On the bottom, a precious victory by Verl.
