1. FC Magdeburg has secured its spot in the 2. Bundesliga. Despite a loss to Kaiserslautern, the club remains above the relegation zone. Petrik Sander is thrilled with the mission accomplished. "It was no easy mission, rather a mission impossible. If someone had told us after eight games that we would end up with 39 points, they would have probably called us crazy. But the team has earned it. The 2. Bundesliga is crazy, I'm just happy that we're above the relegation zone." In fact, the club, which started the season poorly, had laid the foundation for staying in the league in the past few weeks: with five wins out of seven games. So, the club from the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt did not get into danger against FCK, which had buried its promotion hopes in the past few weeks. Lautern's coach Torsten Lieberknecht was satisfied: "We had set out to make up a place - we've done that. The 2. Bundesliga is an incredible challenge, as you can see with Fortuna Düsseldorf, who had set their sights on promotion. We're happy now, but it was also more in it."
