Paderborn only a draw
SC Paderborn missed the jump to third place in the table and after four wins in a row has to be content with a point-sharp draw.

Maximilian Rohr (31st minute) gave the guests a 1-0 lead with his first second division goal, Fabian Reese equalized with a converted hand penalty (66th) to make it 1-1 for Kiel.
FCK celebrates victory
The pursuers 1. FC Kaiserslautern (38) and Fortuna Düsseldorf (35) celebrated three points and remain in wait. Scorer Terrence Boyd (22nd) with his eleventh goal of the season and Philipp Hercher (66th) and Kevin Kraus (69th) with a brace led the Palatinate to a 3-1 (1-0) win against SpVgg after two defeats in a row Greuther Fuerth.
