Weiler couldn’t have wished for a better start to his managerial tenure at Nürnberg. In front of 32,000 spectators at the Grundig-Stadion, he watched his side take a two goal lead into the break against top of the table FC Ingolstadt. Ingolstadt were undefeated in the league coming into the game, but found themselves 2-0 down at half time after goals from Robert Koch in the 16th minute and Jakub Sylvestr in the 25th minute. Moritz Hartmann pulled one back for the away side in the 70th minute, but that was as good as it got for the visitors, as Weiler’s side held out for an important three points.
Elsewhere, RB Leipzig move up to fifth place after their impressive 4-1 home win against FC St. Pauli. St. Pauli could have moved out of the relegation zone with 3 points, but were behind after only 17 minutes thanks to a goal from Leipzig striker Youssuf Poulsen and were down 2-0 at the break. Alushi pulled one back just after half time to make the score 2-1, but Terrence Boyd added to his goal in the first half to restore the two goal advantage. St. Pauli’s defeat was confirmed when substitute Verhoek scored an own goal with just under 20 minutes to go.
