1. FC Kaiserslautern defeats 1. FC Nürnberg in 2. Bundesliga top fixture

1. FC Kaiserslautern secured a 1-0 away victory against 1. FC Nürnberg at the Max-Morlock-Stadion, ending Nürnberg's 14-match unbeaten streak. The decisive goal was scored in the 58th minute by substitute Erencan Yardimci with a header following a cross from Mario Sauer.
