The movements in the table impressively document how close the relegation battle in League Two is. A nervous stock market barometer is virtually nothing compared to this. On Saturday, after the 7-0 victory over STC BW Solingen, which was hardly thought possible at that height, Union Lüdinghausen II shot up from the bottom of the table to ninth place. Less than 24 hours later – the zero eights had lost 1:6 against title contenders Gladbeck and their competitors to stay in the league had all scored points – Lüdinghausen had the red lantern in their hands again.
