S04 wins second division championship
FC Schalke 04 secured the Bundesliga 2 championship thanks to a 2-1 win at 1. FC Nürnberg and finished the season ahead of Werder Bremen – both clubs are promoted directly back to the Bundesliga a year after being relegated. Werder defeated Jahn Regensburg 2-0 and secured second place.
After being 1-0 down, HSV fought back a 3-2 win at Hansa Rostock and thus the ticket for the relegation against Hertha BSC. Despite beating SC Paderborn 3-0, SV Darmstadt only finished 4th, which HSV has held for the past three years.
In front of 41,000 spectators in the sold-out Weser Stadium, Niclas Füllkrug put coach Ole Werner’s team ahead in the tenth minute. Marvin Ducksch (51st) made everything clear after the break. After the final whistle, the joy on the Osterdeich knew no bounds.
The Bremen team thus crowned a remarkable race to catch up. Because the season had started extremely complicated. By the end of August, it was not clear which squad the then coach Markus Anfang could plan with because of transfer proceeds that could still be achieved. Then, in November of last year, the vaccination card affair at the beginning shook the club. The coach, who was only brought in in the summer, resigned because of a fake vaccination certificate. Coach Werner’s engagement brought about a turning point.
