For over 80 minutes the FC Obermais to bottom-placed Vipo Trento, before Edoardo Ghiotti scored the decisive 1-0 with a free kick. The winger sealed the title race with his seventh goal of the season. In the end, Obermais won 2-0 at home on the Lahn River thanks to another late goal.

New second in the table is Virtus Bolzano, St. George away 2-0. However, the Talferstadt team's resurgence in the second half of the season may come too late. With three matches remaining, they are a whopping seven points behind Obermais. The Merano team is unlikely to let that slip away. A win next Sunday in Brixen would be enough to clinch the championship title early.

The prestige duel of the round was won by SV Tramin against St Pauls 2-1. Montan striker Alex Pfitscher decided the historic derby in favor of the home team from the Unterland region with a late penalty in the 85th minute. Tramin thus kept pace with Partschins and Co., while St. Pauls will have to look back a bit in the remaining three rounds.
