SV Sandhausen, who is probably still drunk with joy, is a guest today. The Kurpfälzer managed to stay up in the league early on the last matchday after their splendid race to catch up in the second half of the season and thus remain in the 2nd division for the 10th year in a row. Coach Alois Schwartz experienced a rollercoaster ride of emotions: First his SVS lost 2-1 against Schalke in the last minute, but then the competition helped and gave the Kurpfälzer on the sofa the league. Schwartz’ contract extension as SVS coach made the emotional chaos perfect.
