Hamburger SV is facing another defeat for a long time. Then the Hanseatic League gets another point. City rivals FC St. Pauli lose in the promotion race of the 2nd Bundesliga.
Hamburger SV avoided a major setback late on its desired path back to the Bundesliga. In the 2:2 (0:2) draw against relegation-threatened second division team 1. FC Magdeburg, the Hanseatic team were threatened with defeat until injury time after conceding two penalty goals and being outnumbered for a long time. Then Jonas Meffert scored to equalize.
As fourth in the table, HSV is three points behind Fortuna Düsseldorf in third place. FC St. Pauli in second place behind Holstein Kiel is eight points away.
The Hamburg city rival also missed out on the hoped-for success in the promotion race in the surprising 3:4 (1:0) against SV Elversberg and thus the jump back to the top of the table. Hannover 96 lost contact with the promotion places with a 0-0 draw at Eintracht Braunschweig, and Braunschweig left the relegation zone with the draw.
