The 2014-15 campaign delivered a dramatic and last-gasp survival for 1860 Munich as Die Löwen finished 16th in the 2. Bundesliga, forcing a tense relegation play-off against Holstein Kiel. The club only retained their league status thanks to a dramatic injury-time winner from defender Kai Bülow in the second leg, sending the Allianz Arena faithful into ecstasy. Leading the charge for goals in the tumultuous season was the Austrian forward Rubin Okotie, whose 13 league goals proved crucial in the desperate battle to avoid the drop. It was a nervy year that showcased the club's enduring fighting spirit and remains a defining moment of recent struggles.
