HSV-Joker stabs after a solo worth seeing in injury time
League leaders HSV defied the management crisis in the club. Hamburg won the top game at Hannover 96 with a goal in the second minute of added time. In a fast-paced chasing duel, Darmstadt ended Paderborn’s run of success by missing a penalty.
SEven a home defeat against leaders Hamburger SV, said Stefan Leitl, should not be overestimated. After all, you fall softly, said Hanover’s coach, referring to the table in the second division. They led the Lower Saxony to fourth after their recent winning streak of 20 points from eight games.
An assessment that probably none of his players could understand after the final whistle of the duel. The frustration about a point lost very late in the top game was too deep.
With a spectacular solo run by Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer in added time (90+2), Hamburg won 2-1 (1-1) at Hannover 96 on Friday evening. The fifth win in a row came late but deserved. Across the seasons, the big promotion favorite has now even set a second division record of eight away wins in a row.
“I wanted the goal – then I got it,” said the 21-year-old Königsdörffer, who only made his debut for Ghana’s national team on Tuesday. “That’s definitely one, maybe even the best goal of my career.”

In front of the first division crowd of 49,000 spectators, the significantly better players from Hamburg fell behind in the 4th minute because their defender Miro Muheim slipped in their own penalty area and his opponent Sei Muroya only had to push the ball into the goal. When equalizing, the 96ers gave back a similar gift just eleven minutes later when Julian Börner scored an own goal (15th).
This highly intense northern duel took place just two evenings after the resignation of HSV CFO Thomas Wüstefeld, who had lost the trust of the supervisory board due to numerous allegations against him. This affair left Hamburg just as cold as the early deficit, because they dominated this top game almost continuously.
The playful superiority of HSV was at times so great that the 96ers had little choice but to narrow the spaces and defend compactly. The Lower Saxony hardly found their own offensive game.
And they didn’t succeed in stopping every Hamburg attack either: Sonny Kittel (13th/19th/66th), Robert Glatzel (41st/52nd), Pechvogel Muheim (41st) and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer (86th). .) several good chances for HSV or failed because of the strong 96 goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler. Hannover only broke this dominance a little after an hour, but were not nearly as dangerous in attack as HSV.
Darmstadt turns the game in Paderborn

The Hessians won 2-1 (2-1) against Paderborn, who had previously won five home games, and remained undefeated in the ninth game in a row. In front of 11,238 spectators in the Paderborn stadium, Braydon Manu (10th minute) and Jannik Müller (24th) scored the goals for the guests, Robert Leipertz (4th) scored for Paderborn.
In an exciting and varied game with a number of goal chances on both sides, the hosts got off to a better start and scored the 1-0 through Leipertz in the 4th minute. Three minutes later, Marvin Pieringer even had the chance to make it 2-0, but failed with his penalty kick by Darmstadt goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen, who was able to parry the fourth of the last nine penalties.
Then the guests trumped. First Manu managed to equalize before Müller scored his first second division goal in almost four years with a header and put the Hessians 2-1 in front. Tobias Kempe did the preparatory work for both goals. The East Westphalians pushed hard for the equalizer, but were also lucky that Matthias Bader hit the post on the other side.
