Before the last international break of this year, the front runner Hamburger SV gambled away a win against pursuers Holstein Kiel in added time. However, the lead over a non-promotion place is still relatively comfortable.

Dhe Hamburger SV simply cannot win against his feared opponent Holstein Kiel. The Hanseatic League parted from their north rivals in the empty Holstein stadium 1: 1 (1: 0) on Monday evening. Moritz Heyer (43rd minute) scored the goals after strong preparatory work by Jeremy Dudziak for the guests and Joshua Mees (90th + 1) for Holstein Kiel in stoppage time.

HSV has been waiting for their first win against Schleswig-Holstein for five second division games. There are now two defeats and three draws. “The first half was very good,” said HSV central defender Toni Leistner at Sky. “We should have just put the lid on.”

HSV was also able to extend its lead in the standings by winning one point. Hamburg are now in the lead with 17 points and have a comfortable five-point lead over the relegation rank. With this, HSV reinforced its claim to want to return to the Bundesliga this season. The Kielers have twelve points and moved up to fourth place.

“In the second half we showed a different face”

Both teams could not hide their respect for each other. Hamburg, the best offensive team in the second division with 15 goals scored, and the strongest defense in the league from Kiel with only five goals conceded, neutralized each other for a long time. The build-up of the game, especially at HSV, stalled in the first half. The ball was played wider than it was forward. The Kielers skilfully covered the space, because the leaders lacked the ideas.

Holstein trainer Ole Werner had announced his team’s concept as “aggressive and unpleasant”. It was, too, but rarely sought the way on the offensive. HSV also had only a few chances to score. Then the favorite took the lead with a header from Heyer. Standing with his back to the goal, Dudziak had previously accepted the ball with his right thigh and passed it on to Heyer with his left volley.

“We showed a different face in the second half. We started like the fire brigade, ”said Kiel captain Hauke ​​Wahl. After changing sides, the Kielers actually looked for the offensive more often and put the hitherto hardly tested HSV defense under pressure. But only in stoppage time, when all observers had made friends with the Hamburg victory, the hosts struck.
