But in the further course of the game, the wolves were able to buy the cutting more and more and thus Koen Casteels had to take after the meanwhile equalizer by the Hamburger 2 minutes before the final whistle nevertheless the hit to the 2: 1 defeat.

Eintracht Braunschweig has completed a strong season in the 2. Bundesliga and could not be rewarded with the direct ascent. The Braunschweiger have nevertheless been able to convince and the third table place at the end of this season is definitely to be regarded as a success of Braunschweig. However, the team of coach Torsten Lieberknecht after a series of 3 victories had quite legitimate odds yet to jump to the 2nd table place. On the 30th day Eintracht Braunschweig was very difficult at 1860 Munich, but could finally celebrate a 1: 0 victory in the Allianz Arena by a goal from Christoffer Nyman. In the home match against the direct competitor Union Berlin, there was a deserved 3-1 home win with Ken Reichel (2) and Domi Kumbela for the decisive hits ensured. On the penultimate match day, Braunschweig had to go to Arminia Bielefeld and the team of coach Lieberknecht unexpectedly showed an indiscutable performance and fell 6: 0 completely nasty under the wheels. Through this failure Eintracht Braunschweig playful also the great chance for the 2nd place. The team could not correct this by the 2-1 home win against the Karlsruher SC last weekend.
