With the result, 17th-placed Hamburg have raised hopes to maintain their top-flight status. Wolfsburg slipped to 15th.
Cologne were relegated into the second division after losing 3-2 to Freiburg, who eased their relegation worries with the hard-earned victory.
The “Billy Goats”, who were in need of a victory to maintain their minimum chance, grabbed the worst possible start into the encounter as Nils Petersen broke the deadlock for Freiburg after heading home a cross with 14 minutes played.
The visitors were shocked and gave Freiburg a golden chance to double their advantage as Marco Hoeger felled Petersen inside the box. Christian Guenter wasted the awarded penalty with a weak shot as custodian Timo Horn was on guard in the 23rd minute.
Cologne lacked penetration while the hosts remained wasteful at the finish. Things changed after the restart as Freiburg found the back of the goal again when Petersen rounded Horn to slot home the 2-0 lead in the 52nd minute.
Stefan Ruthenbeck's men gained a late foothold into the match as Leonardo Bittencourt volleyed home Jorge Mere’s cross to pull one back out of the blue in the 82nd minute.
Cologne increased the pressure and they were able to restore parity after Bittencourt wrapped up his brace by header five minutes later. However, it was a short-lived joy as Freiburg had the last laugh when Lucas Hoeler killed the game in the closing period.
