SV Waldhof Mannheim clearly lost its home game in the 3rd league against VfB Oldenburg. This means that promotion is no longer mathematically possible. Against VfB Oldenburg, who are in acute danger of relegation, Neidhardt's team showed at the beginning that they wanted to take this motto seriously. Mannheim controlled the game in the early stages, but without creating any significant chances. VfB Oldenburg, who were condemned to win as 17th in the table, got better and better in the middle of the first half and were rewarded with a goal from Marc Stendera in the 20th minute to make it 1-0. Just two minutes later, Oldenburg took advantage of a careless moment by Mannheim - Oliver Steurer scored to make it 2-0 (22nd minute). In the 24th minute, Stendera could have even made it 3-0, but the Oldenburg player only hit the crossbar. Mannheim's plan to win the last three games was not much left after that. SVW did manage to score a goal in the 61st minute through Adrian Malachowski, but Oldenburg restored the two-goal lead just two minutes later through Rafael Brands' 3:1 (63rd). Curiously, because Mannheim's keeper Jan-Christoph Bartels was injured in the final phase and Waldhof had already exhausted all substitutions, captain Marcel Seegert had to put on the goalkeeper gloves. The regular central defender held on to what he could for the remaining twelve minutes. Nothing changed on the scoreboard. Mannheim clearly tried to score a goal despite being outnumbered, but the goal would not come. Oldenburg fought for a well-deserved victory in the end and can still hope to stay in the 3rd division. SV Waldhof Mannheim now has no mathematical chance of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga as a result of the defeat. +++ 3rd division +++ Pure football.
