A day after the Bundesliga finale provided drama from the movies, the minor league's lockout cycle set up even more drama on Sunday.

Hamburg, which was close to returning after a five-year absence, will meet Stuttgart in tests.

During the drama, an unusual scene occurred: Hamburg fans had already burst onto the pitch and began celebrating promotion to the top division, since their opponent's game had not yet ended. They quickly discovered reality.

Regensburg vs Heidenheim 3:2

Just like Dortmund, Heidenheim came into the final round dependent on itself and needing a win. Just like Dortmund, Heidenheim fell behind twice as much. But unlike Dortmund, they managed to complete an unimaginable turnaround in extra time and celebrate at the end of the lockout cycle.

Regensburg, already practically relegated, improved to a sensational 0-2 thanks to a dramatic pair of Prince Osei Owusu (51 and 57). A minute after the second goal, the visitors shrank thanks to an own goal by Benedict Zeller, but the real drama unfolded in extra time.

A precise penalty by Jan Niklas Basta gave Heidenheim hope in the 93rd minute, and the long-awaited winning goal came in the 99th minute from the feet of Tim Kleindienst. Hamburg fans had already burst onto the pitch for the match to prepare for the promotion celebrations, but were informed that they would have to wait a little longer for a return to the top division.

Sandhausen - Hamburg 1:0

Hamburg was hosted by the table holder, hoping for a stumble in Heidenheim. Jean-Luc Dampa scored the only goal of the match in the third minute, Hamburg were in second place for almost the entire period, but unfortunately it was not enough due to the drama in the corresponding match. Third placed Hamburg will now prepare for a double encounter for a place in the Bundesliga against Stuttgart, who finished 16th in the top division.
