Aumund-Vegesak secured a 2:1 victory over Lehern in the Bremen stage of the Oberliga on Friday evening, moving further clear in fifth place while Lehern remain rooted to 13th with just three points from five games.
By then Lehern had already lost their last two league outings, falling 0:2 to Gemelinggen and 0:1 to Ahe Horn, and this result adds to a run that cannot afford another slip. Aumund-Vegesak, meanwhile, bounce back from a 0:1 defeat to Gron with a 5:4 win over BTS Neustadt before Friday's away success.
to be fair, the standings tell the story here — Aumund-Vegesak sit on nine points after three wins and two losses, while Lehern's four defeats leave them with barely enough to stay upright.
things came to a head in the sense that the gap between fifth and 13th is now eight points, and Lehern have not won since their last competitive fixture in May, when they drew 2:2 with Oberrheinnland.
Aumund-Vegesak's form suggests they are on the brink of pushing higher, but Lehern's position means they cannot afford another slip if they want to avoid a relegation scrap.
