Osnabrück Beats Cottbus 1-0 for First Home Defeat of Season

Playmaker Tolcay Cigerci, limited by a flu-like illness, entered at half-time but could not unlock the league’s stingiest defense.

Overview

  • Ismail Badjie finished a fast break in the 74th minute from Robin Meißner’s pass to decide the top-of-the-table clash.
  • Cigerci had not trained until Thursday, started on the bench, and after coming on went close from a tight angle before sending an 84th-minute free kick just over.
  • Osnabrück’s compact setup blunted one of the division’s strongest attacks in a slow, chance-light match.
  • The victory brings Osnabrück level on points with second-place Cottbus in the 3. Liga table.
  • Cottbus was missing Jannis Boziaris with calf problems and now prepares for a Landespokal quarterfinal away at SV Babelsberg.
