I've only just heard, so will follow this up...

2. Bundesliga final games yesterday with Darmstadt already promoted (67 points heading into the last game with Heidenheim on 64 points and Hamburg on 63 points).  Two teams get promoted automatically from the division.

Hamburg are away at bottom club Sandhausen, Heidenheim away at 2nd bottom club Jahn Regensburg.

After 3 minutes, Hamburg take the lead.  At half time in these games, it's 0-1 to Hamburg and 0-0.  After 56 minutes, Jahn Regensburg are 2-0 up against Heidenheim, though Heidenheim score a goal very soon after (58th minute) to make it 2-1.  After 90 odd minutes, the scores remain the same.  Hamburg fans celebrate their win at full time:

Unbeknownst to them, Heidenheim were awarded a 93rd minute penalty in their game, which they scored to make it 2-2.

Even more remarkably, they then scored a 99th minute winner to win 3-2 and get promoted.  Darmstadt lost 4-0 away at Furth, so Heidenheim went from finishing 3rd after 92 minutes, to being champions...

 

...and, ultimately, Hamburg had a pitch invasion for finishing 3rd :D 

Apparently basically the same thing happened the day before in the third tier. Wiesbaden won their tie and were heading for the promotion playoffs against one of the bottom teams from the 2nd tier, except Osnabruck scored in 90+4' and 90+6' to snatch 3rd on goal difference (by one goal!). 

I suppose the same would also have happened in Munich if Dortmund got a late winner...
