Quälix saves Eintracht: in 1999/00 the club, docked two points by the DFB because of financial irregularities, sat bottom at the halfway mark. Rescue coach Jörg Berger had to go. Fireman Felix Magath took over and kept them up. Eintracht produced the third-best second half of the season and survived with a 2:1 win over direct rivals Ulm.
