Football, second division: With the first Derby win in more than five years, Hamburger SV has finally reported back and stopped the soaring of northern rivals Werder Bremen for the time being. HSV won a turbulent duel in Bremen’s Weserstadion 2-0 (2-0) on Saturday evening and moved past Werder into fourth place in the table.
In front of 21,050 spectators in the stadium, which was sold out under Corona rules, Robert Glatzel (2nd minute) and Moritz Heyer (45th + 1) scored the hits for the guests in the first second division derby of both clubs. Both teams ended the game with ten players because Bremen’s Christian Groß (31st) and Hamburg’s Sebastian Schonlau (52nd) each saw yellow-red.
The first north duel in three and a half years developed into a turbulent game from the start. The guests took the lead with the first chance. After a fine pass from Heyer, Glatzel headed against the still unorganized Bremer. Werder then reacted with furious attacks, but the home side got too hectic early on and played too uncontrollably. HSV made a more mature impression overall and after a little more than half an hour was still in the majority because Groß, completely over-motivated, straddled HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes and rightly saw the yellow-red card.
If referee Sascha Stegemann was right with this decision, he made the wrong decision a little later from the Bremen perspective. HSV defense chief Schonlau had brought down Werder striker Marvin Ducksch in the penalty area, but the penalty whistle failed to materialize. The Weserstadion was finally raging, Werder coach Markus Anfang hopped up and down the sidelines completely beside himself.
When Stegemann failed to score a free-kick from Ducksch in the 42nd minute because Mitchell Weiser, who joined Werder against the rules, was in the wall of the guests, the green-whites didn’t understand the world anymore. But Bremen had to cope with another blow in the neck before the break. In stoppage time of the first round, Heyer headed HSV to 2-0.
After the break, Werder tried to find their way back into the game. When HSV captain Schonlau also saw yellow and red, the Bremer smelled the morning air again. But despite all efforts, Werder found no means for a long time against the stable HSV defense. Instead, Bakery Jatta failed to make the decision after just over an hour when he failed at Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer. Substitute Niclas Füllkrug (74th, 77th) and Milos Veljkovic in stoppage time awarded twice for Werder.
Football, Pelé: Brazil’s idol Pele calmed the football community down after a brief return to intensive care. “My friends, I am still recovering very well. Today I received visits from family members and I continue to smile every day,” the 80-year-old wrote on Instagram on Saturday night: “Thank you for all the love I have from you get. ” Pele was briefly transferred back to the intensive care unit due to breathing problems. This was announced by the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo on Friday evening, and they were talking about a “preventive measure”. After stabilization, the patient is back in the semi-intensive care unit, it said: “He is currently stable from a cardiovascular and respiratory point of view.”
Before Pele, his daughter Kely Nascimento had cautiously given the all-clear. “This is the normal recovery scenario for a man his age,” she wrote on Instagram about a photo that shows her and her smiling father in the hospital: “After an operation like this, you sometimes take two steps forward and one step back. Yesterday he was tired and took a step backwards. Today he took two steps forward. ” Pele was only released from intensive care on Tuesday after having a tumor removed from his colon in early September.
