Eintracht Frankfurt was relegated from the Bundesliga with a 1-3 defeat at champion Borussia Dortmund on the last day of the season on Saturday, while Wolfsburg ensured survival with a 3-1 win at Hoffenheim.

Dortmund clinched the title as far back as April 30 but waited until Saturday for its official title celebrations, while Frankfurt players were left to consider the club's relegation to the second division for the fourth time.

"Now we'll have to handle the disappointment. I myself need a little distance. This is all very heavy and very deep," Frankfurt coach Christoph Daum said after the relegation.

Borussia Moenchengladbach drew 1-1 at Hamburger SV to finish 16th and goes into a two-game playoff with the third-place team from division two, either Bochum or Greuther Fuerth.

An own goal from Freiburg's Cedrick Makiadi was enough for Bayer Leverkusen to win 1-0 at Freiburg and secure second place in the Bundesliga and, with it, the automatic Champions League place.

"It's unfair to imply that I could be happy about today," said Freiburg coach Robin Dutt, who takes over at Leverkusen next season. Leverkusen coach Jupp Heynckes will take over at Bayern Munich, which finished third despite beating Stuttgart 2-1 at home.

Hannover beat Nuremberg 3-1 to secure fourth place over Mainz, which defeated relegated St. Pauli 2-1. Kaiserslautern beat Werder Bremen 3-2.
