2. Bundesliga: Elversberg achieve historic promotion to the Bundesliga following victory over Münster | OneFootball

First-half goals from Bambasé Conté and David Mokwa, followed by a second strike from Mokwa after the break, proved enough for Vincent Wagner’s side to overcome already relegated Preußen Münster, sealing a second-place finish and a historic promotion to the Bundesliga.

Knowing exactly what was at stake, Elversberg made their intentions clear from the very first whistle and dominated the opening stages. It took just 10 minutes for the hosts to move a step closer to the top flight as Conté opened the scoring. A slick passing move around the penalty area ended with Tom Zimmerschied driving to the byline before cutting the ball back for the midfielder, who tapped home from close range beyond Johannes Schenk.

Just four minutes later, Elversberg were in dreamland. The celebrations for the opener had barely settled when the second arrived as a deep ball from the right caused confusion in the Münster defence. Lasse Günther kept the move alive brilliantly, driving into the box before squaring for Mokwa, who calmly converted from a few yards out to make it 2-0.

Elversberg continued to dictate proceedings and looked the more dangerous side throughout the remainder of the first half, though they were unable to add the crucial third goal before the interval.

The second period began in relatively quiet fashion, with neither side creating many clear-cut opportunities, but Elversberg eventually put the contest beyond doubt in the 66th minute. Günther released Conté down the left flank and the winger burst into the penalty area before delivering a low cross for Mokwa, who arrived to tap in his second of the afternoon and effectively confirm promotion at 3-0.

From there, Elversberg comfortably saw out the closing stages as the final minutes ticked away, sparking jubilant celebrations inside the URSAPHARM-Arena as the hosts capped off a magnificent campaign with a historic promotion to the Bundesliga.
