And the winner is – HSV! In the chasing duel, there was a goalless draw between FC St. Pauli and Fortuna Düsseldorf at the sold-out Millerntor. A draw that only helps HSV, which is third in the table, because neither team was able to get within a point.
St. Pauli in particular is going full steam ahead against the waiting Dusseldorf. Florian Kastenmeister can steer a Jackson Irvine header over the crossbar with difficulty (14′). Huge excitement when Elias Saad closes on the left. Fortuna captain André Hoffmann blocking from his leg to his own hand. Protests from the Kiez-Kicker, but referee Jöllenbeck does not give a penalty after consultation (38th). St. Pauli continues to move forward. A huge beam from Marcel Hartel, but the ball only rushes to the crossbar (45th). Unbelievable: Thirteen shots to zero for St. Pauli at half-time, but Düsseldorf keeps the zero.
After the break it gets tough. The Düsseldorfers get the offensive of the Kiez-Kicker better under control, don’t allow any serious chances – but also have nothing to offer up front. Out of nowhere almost 0: 1: Joker Jona Niemiec deflected a few seconds after being substituted on and hit the crossbar (68th).
In the final phase both teams try everything. Because a draw only benefits HSV. But nobody wants to take that risk. It remains goalless – and it’s going to be really difficult for both of them to get a taste of the relegation in the last two games.
