Overview
- 1. FC Köln beat Hamburger SV 4–1, with HSV reduced to nine men after yellow-red cards for Immanuel Pherai and Fabio Vieira and a would‑be HSV goal overturned following a lengthy VAR check.
- Referee Daniel Schlager said Vieira had been warned and cited the captain-only dialogue rule, while explaining the disallowed goal was ruled a foul on Eric Martel after video review.
- BILD reports VfL Wolfsburg are likely to dismiss coach Paul Simonis after the 2–3 loss to Hoffenheim, naming U19 coach Daniel Bauer as a possible interim, though the club has not confirmed any change.
- KSV Hessen Kassel edged Eintracht Trier 3–2 on Phinees Bonianga’s late penalty, while SG Bockum‑Hövel squandered a 2–0 lead to lose 2–3 to Lüner SV after a 100th‑minute, retaken spot-kick and a sideline red card.
- Niners Chemnitz defeated Löwen Braunschweig 93–75 for their fourth Basketball‑Bundesliga win of the season behind strong scoring from Kevin Yebo and Ty Brewer.
