Holstein Kiel ended Nürnberg’s perfect run in the 2. Bundesliga, but the 2-2 draw still left the visitors top of the table at least until Sunday.

Adam Markhiev put Nürnberg ahead in the 41st minute with a long-range shot. Kiel responded just before halftime, when Phil Harres headed in an equalizer in stoppage time.

Adrian Kapralik gave Kiel the lead in the 50th minute, but Piet Scobel levelled eight minutes later. Both goals followed defensive mistakes, and neither back line looked convincing in the second half.

Scobel came close to restoring Nürnberg’s lead in the 68th and 83rd minutes, but his shot and header missed the net. The result gave Kiel a third draw, although the team remains without a win.
