Energie Cottbus 2-0 Hamburg

Energie Cottbus have secured their top flight status with a 2-0 win over Hamburg, who are hanging onto their Uefa Cup spot by a thread.

Despite Hamburg having the better of the first half with regards possession and territory; it was the home side who took the lead on the half hour mark. Stiven Rivic fired the Lausitzer in front with their first real effort on goal. He latched onto a quick ball from Rangelov and proved too quick for Timothee Atouba to stop.

The second and decisive goal for Cottbus arrived on 84 minutes with Dane Sörensen the scorer. A free kick deep in their own half saw Sörensen latch onto the ball and score from close range and send the home crowd into ecstasy.
