Relegation spoils Lok Leipzig's championship party

Two days of "letting it rip"

The long-distance championship duel with Carl Zeiss Jena already proved that Lok is capable of drama. Although Lok beat the second team of 1. FC Magdeburg 5:2 on the last matchday, they fell behind twice. In the end, Leipzig only finished five goals ahead of Jena, who won the Thuringia derby against Erfurt 2-0 at the same time. On matchday 27, Lok were still ten points ahead of Jena.

The current form of the champions may not be the best with a view to relegation, but morale is high. "The team has always shown a reaction. That's why the game was a reflection of the second half of the season. I'm incredibly proud of the boys," said Seitz and naturally gave the party order: "We'll now let our hair down for two or three days. Then we'll prepare for the relegation play-off."

On Wednesday, Seitz wants to get his players back on the training pitch. They have known since the end of April that their opponents are Würzburg. That was when SpVgg Unterhaching announced that they would forgo promotion for financial reasons. Season winner 1. FC Nürnberg II had not applied for a license.
