Hamburg  - Mainz 05 clinched promotion to Germany's top-flight Bundesliga with a 4-0 victory over Rot-Weiss Oberhausen on Sunday.

Two goals apiece from Srdhan Baljak and Aristide Bance ensured Mainz finished second in the second division behind champions Freiburg who made sure of promotion two weeks ago.

Freiburg top the table on 68 points, with Mainz on 63 and Nuremberg third on 60.

Nuremberg go into a play-off for promotion with Energie Cottbus who finished third last in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The two-leg play-off will be on Thursday in Cottbus and Sunday in Nuremberg.

Mainz, with Norwegian former striker Joern Anderson in his first season in charge as coach at the club, are back in the top flight after a two-year absence.

Freiburg return four years after being relegated, while Nuremberg are aiming for a quick return after relegation in the 2007/08 season.
