The long-awaited promotion to the German Bundesliga is a reality for Holstein Kiel!
ÖFB legionnaire Benedikt Pichler’s team drew 1-1 against pursuers Fortuna Düsseldorf in the promotion summit on matchday 33 of the 2nd German Bundesliga and can therefore no longer be pushed out of the promotion ranks.
The 26-year-old from Salzburg scored the goal for Kiel right at the start of the first half (2nd).
Immediately afterwards, however, Kiel is lucky: Erras gets the ball in his own box (7th), but after an onfield review with the help of VAR, referee Jablonski decides to continue playing.

After that, both teams tried to continue to cause danger, but no further goals were scored in the first half.
In the second half it goes back and forth for a long time before Holtby clumsily fouls his opponent Niemiec in his own box. After VAR intervened, referee Jablonski awarded a penalty for Düsseldorf after another onfield review. Tzolis doesn’t miss the chance to equalize and makes it 1:1 (70′).
In the final phase, Kiel is very disciplined and doesn’t allow anything. So Kiel gets one of the most important points in the club’s history, which secures the North Germans’ first promotion to today’s Bundesliga. Fortuna, on the other hand, has to go into the long-distance duel with FC St. Pauli.
If the “Kiezkicker” get at least one point against VfL Osnabrück on Sunday, then Düsseldorf will definitely have to go into relegation.
