"We were dead for 90 minutes," Pierre-Michel Lasogga, then a striker for Hamburger SV, summed it up honestly about one of the most emotional relegation matches in Bundesliga history. In 2015, HSV, the "football dinosaur," was on the verge of relegation to the 2. Bundesliga. What made that so special? HSV was the last club never to have been relegated since the Bundesliga's founding. In the first leg against Karlsruher SC, the Hamburg team had kept the race for survival open with a 1-1 draw. But in the return leg, a knockout loomed: Reinhold Yabo gave KSC the lead in the 78th minute – HSV seemed beaten, the first relegation in the club's history all but sealed. But then came stoppage time – and with it the brilliant performance of Marcelo Díaz, who beautifully converted a free kick to make it 1-1. In extra time, Nicolai Müller put the finishing touches to the game: with his goal to make it 2-1 in the 115th minute, he secured HSV's place in the Bundesliga.
