Union Berlin managed to rescue their season with ten men in the dying embers of their game against Freiburg. Bochum, however, were stunned into 16th and the playoffs.

SV Werder Bremen put a dagger through the heart of Bochum fans as they destroyed the side from the Ruhr region 4-1 in a rampant Bundesliga display on the final day.

This loss was compounded by a late Union Berlin victory thanks to Janik Haberer's strike in the 92nd minute for the capital side. After being pegged back 1-1 as Ritsu Doan scored for Christian Streich's side in the 85th minute.

A Michael Gspurning red for the hosts followed shortly after this goal for the away team to increase the pressure. In the end, it did not make a difference.

These results left Union in 15th on goal difference with thirty-three points this season. Bochum were left in 16th on goal difference and facing a two-legged affair with Fortuna Düsseldorf in the playoffs.
