"Bochum", "Hansa" and "Freiburg" leave the Bundesliga © EuroFootball.com

O

n Saturday, all nine matches before the penultimate round of the German football championship were played. After them, all three teams were identified, which will leave the Bundesliga - these are the clubs "Bochum", "Hansa", and "Freiburg".

Munich's "Bayern" club won another victory - this time the "Bavarians" crushed the "Nurnberg" team 6-3. Already after the first half, "Bayern" led 5-0, but in the second, the guests managed to soften the difference to a decent one. As announced earlier, this was the last match for the "Bayern" club at the "Olympiastadion" stadium, where the German team played for more than thirty years.

Meanwhile, nothing new at the "Schalke" camp - the club suffered another failure and missed the opportunity to secure the second place. Gelsenkirchen footballers at home lost 1-2 to the "Borussia" team. This was already the fifth defeat of "Schalke" in the last eight matches. After Dortmund's victory, the club rose to seventh position.

"Schalke" once again failed to take advantage of the "Stuttgart" team. "Stuttgart" lost 2-0 away to one of the league's outsiders, the "Bochum" club, and remained in third place. "Bochum", like "Hansa" and "Freiburg" players, will play in the second division of Germany next season.

The previous year's Bundesliga champions, the players of "Werder", secured a place in the UEFA Cup competition. The Bremen team beat "Freiburg" 4-1 at home. Meanwhile, Leverkusen's "Bayer" club played 2-2 with the "Wolfsburg" team. In order to play in the UEFA Cup tournament next season, the "Bayer" club only needs to earn a point in the last round.
