Skynews - Eintracht Braunschweig were promoted into the Bundesliga for the first time in 28 years on Friday thanks to an injury-time 1-0 victory at Ingolstadt.


Damir Vrancic was the hero for the 1967 Bundesliga champions two minutes into stoppage time.

'A huge dream has come true for us and the whole of Braunschweig.

It is an unbelievable day,' coach Thorsten Lieberknecht told Sky TV.

Braunschweig have 65 points and can no longer be caught by Kaiserslautern (52) and Cologne (50), who have four games left to play. Second division leaders Hertha Berlin (66) clinched promotion a week ago.

Meanwhile, bottom side Greuther Furth are just one game away from an unwanted Bundesliga record after their 3-2 defeat to Hanover 96 on Friday left them on the verge of becoming the first team to fail to win any home matches in a league season.

Fuerth face Freiburg at their Trolli Arena stadium on May 11 in their last bid to pick up their first German league win at home on their debut season in the Bundesliga.

Greuther have won just three matches this season and are almost sure to be relegated, sitting eight points from safety with three games left.
