Last placed Braunschweig does not want to go to Zweita, and the goal called survival is somewhat more realistic after the 3:0 victory over Hannover.
Domi Kumbela gave the hosts the lead in the 14th minute, and Howard Nielsen increased the lead just six minutes later.
The visitors attacked later, but the moment defender Andre Hoffmann received a red card half an hour before the end, it became clear that they had nothing to look for in Braunschweig.
A minute before the end of the match, Jan Hochšajd put an end to the match.
Braunschweig is still the last in the table, and with this triumph, it got two points closer to Stuttgart, a team that is currently in the survival zone.
"The table is still devastating for us, but we are not giving up. This match may be a sign of better days at the end of the season," Braunschweig coach Torsten Lieberknecht said.
In the second match, between teams from the middle of the table, Hertha and Hoffenheim drew (1:1).
Sami Alagi scored for Hertha in the 11th minute, and in the 30th Eugen Polanski set the final score.
