BERLIN (Reuters) - VfL Wolfsburg will stay in the Bundesliga next season after beating second division Holstein Kiel 1-0 on Monday to win their relegation playoff 4-1 on aggregate.

The game lacked the intensity of the first encounter in Wolfsburg last week as a 75th-minute Robin Knoche header gave the 2009 Bundesliga champions their second consecutive relegation playoff success, after they also survived last season.
