The most important match of the 33rd round of Bundesliga 2 ended with a high-scoring 6-1 victory for Hamburg against bottom-placed Ulm, securing the return of one of Germany’s oldest football clubs to the top tier after seven years.

Hamburg, which had been leading Bundesliga 2 since early in the season, was initially surprised by an early goal from Ulm in the 7th minute. However, Polzin’s squad equalized just three minutes later through Reis.

Königsdörfer scored the second goal for the hosts in the 42nd minute, and Davy Selke made it 3-1 just before halftime. In the second half, Hamburg’s attacking display continued, with an own goal from the opposition and another strike from Königsdörfer extending the lead to 5-1.

Finally, Ahlfadi’s goal in the 87th minute sealed the emphatic victory and confirmed Hamburg’s return to the Bundesliga after seven years of absence, bringing joy back to the football-loving city.

With this sweet victory, Hamburg reached 59 points, ensuring their promotion even if they lose in the final matchday.

Hamburg is one of Germany’s oldest football clubs, having been relegated to Bundesliga 2 at the end of the 2017-18 season after 54 years of continuous presence in the top tier.
