Darmstadt returned to the second division of German football
According to Tasnim news agency, the face of the first team relegated to German Bundesliga 2 has been revealed, and this failure was recorded in the name of the Darmstadt team.
Last night (Sunday), Thorsten Lieberkhenst's students suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Heidenheim (a team that, like them, was promoted to the Bundesliga last summer), which was the result of a 90th-minute goal by Nikola Dodan for the visiting team, for the 20th time in 31 weeks. After the Bundesliga, they lost 17 points.
In this way, due to the 11-point gap between Darmstadt and 17th-ranked Mainz and only three weeks remaining in the season, survival in the Bundesliga became impossible, and the bottom of the first relegated team was called the second division of German football. Cologne with 23 points, which is in the 17th place, is another candidate for relegation to the second division.
The Bundesliga, after Serie A, La Liga and the English Premier League, is the fourth of Europe's top five football leagues to have at least one of its relegation teams identified this season. Before this, the relegation of Sheffield United from the English Premier League, Almeria from the Spanish La Liga and Salernitana from Serie A was decided.
