This includes losses to Hannover 96, VfL Wolfsburg, FC Augsburg, Bayern Munich, and 1. FSV Mainz 05.[11] Despite not picking up any points over this period, 1. FC Nürnberg and Eintracht Braunschweig were unable to catch Hamburg and they finished the season in 16th place,[11] which led to a relegation–promotion play–off against Greuther Fürth. In the relegation–promotion play–off, the first leg ended in a 0–0 draw[12] and the second leg ended in a 1–1 draw.[13] The result meant that Hamburg avoided relegation.[13] Slomka was sacked on 15 September 2014 after only one point and no goals in the 2014–15 Bundesliga season.[14] Slomka launched a lawsuit against Hamburg for €1.4 million compensation.[15]
