(Interstat) — Ulm took the lead in the 26th minute when Dennis Chessa found the net, but the visitors were reduced to 10 men for the final hour after Chessa received a yellow card in the 31st minute. Kehl equalized for the hosts just before halftime.

Osnabruck, which moved to 23-6-8 in league play, had not lost to Ulm in the teams’ most recent meeting, a 5-3 victory Dec. 12. Ulm fell to 8-21-6 in the competition.

The draw mirrored Interstat’s pregame simulation, though Osnabruck had entered as a heavy favorite. Ulm next faces R-W Essen on May 16, while Osnabruck visits Stuttgart the same day.
