HSV can go away! The Hamburgers win in Nuremberg and are approaching the promotion places. Two other top teams in the 2nd league gambled away the win. It gets tight at the top of the table.
For minutes, the Hamburger SV players swayed back and forth in front of their more than 2,000 fans who had traveled with them. The wet lawn under the Nuremberg floodlights briefly turned into a dance floor after the strong 2-0 win at the “Club”.
As great as the misery after the bankruptcy against Darmstadt (1:2) was, the jubilation after the impressive pointer to the competition after the win on Saturday was just as huge.
The long-standing Bundesliga side coldly exploited the mistakes made by SC Paderborn, SV Darmstadt 98 and 1. FC Kaiserslautern. The spectators on the Betzenberg also saw plenty of spectacle on Sunday in the 4: 4 (2: 3) against 1. FC Magdeburg – but Lautern did not win at home, which turned a 1: 3 into a 4: 3 in the end but still conceded the repeated compensation. The day before, Paderborn drew 2-2 against FC St. Pauli and Darmstadt against 1. FC Heidenheim.
“90 Minute Fight”
HSV, on the other hand, delivered in the traditional duel in Franconia on Saturday evening. The way the Hamburgers performed was reminiscent of better times. “We played very confidently today and played mature and ripped off,” said coach Tim Walter.
For HSV it was the eighth away win in a competitive game in a row – a club record that has been expanded once again. “It was a 90-minute fight. The coach adjusted us very well and we defended superbly,” said Robert Glatzel.
One point separates the North Germans from leaders Paderborn, who gave up two points this time after three wins. East Westphalia lost a 2-1 lead with a late goal against HSV city rivals St. Pauli, as did Darmstadt in a 2-2 win against 1. FC Heidenheim. It gets tight at the top of the table. There are only two points between first and seventh place. Holstein Kiel is now standing there, having moved up to the top with a 1-0 (0-0) win over SV Sandhausen.
“We like to win at home too”
Karlsruher SC, who started the season with two defeats, managed to win 2-0 (2-0) against FC Hansa Rostock, climbed up the table and is only three points behind the top of the table. Next Saturday, KSC will play the top game against HSV, who finally want to win again at home. “We also like to win at home,” said HSV coach Walter, before concluding: “In the end, I don’t care where we win, the main thing is that we win.”
Already on Friday, the Fortuna Düsseldorf team, who have been unbeaten for ten home games, secured their highest win to date under coach Daniel Thioune with a 4-0 (0-0) win over Jahn Regensburg. Arminia Bielefeld, who had been relegated to the Bundesliga, was also able to breathe a sigh of relief. Under new coach Daniel Scherning, he defeated Eintracht Braunschweig, who was still at the bottom of the table, 4-1 (3-0) and thus finally clinched his first win of the season. Co-relegated SpVgg Greuther Fürth has to wait for the 1: 2 (0: 0) on Sunday at Hannover 96. The Franconians are on the relegation zone with Braunschweig.
