The defeat against the Osnabrück team, who were outnumbered, came as a surprise to the new HSV coach. Steffen Baumgart has work to do and wants to question things. After all, the bankruptcy served as a warning to Xabi Alonso for Leverkusen.
After Hamburger SV’s surprising defeat against bottom-placed VfL Osnabrück, coach Steffen Baumgart feels challenged. “We then – and this is clear – not only go into the analysis, but also into questioning. That’s my job,” said Baumgart on Sunday after the 1:2 (1:1) draw in the 2nd Bundesliga. “If you’re in a team where you say very clearly beforehand that standard situations are an absolute strength and then you get two goals from those situations, then it’s my job to make it even clearer that we can and do defend that better must.”
Osnabrück took the lead early through Lukas Kunze (6th minute). The midfielder received a free kick from Michael Cuisance at the back post and volleyed the ball into the goal. Immediately before the end, when Lower Saxony was already outnumbered after the yellow-red card for Maxwell Gyamfi (76th), Cuisance (89th) scored from the penalty spot. “Regardless of the game, the result is a disaster,” said Baumgart. “Still we are third. Nevertheless, we still have ten games and we have everything in our own hands.”
If they had won, HSV would have overtaken Holstein Kiel and jumped to second place in the table. But because the entire promotion competition was unable to achieve a win on matchday 24, the effects for HSV in the table remain manageable. HSV is in third place in the table with 41 points, Kiel is in second place with 43 points. League leaders and local rivals FC St. Pauli have 48 points. On the next match day, HSV has to play Fortuna Düsseldorf, a team that also wants to march towards promotion. FC St. Pauli welcomes Hertha BSC on Sunday.

The HSV game on this match day also had an impact on the championship fight in League 1, as Xabi Alonso, coach of leaders Bayer Leverkusen, reported after his team’s victory against 1. FC Köln (0-2) on Sunday afternoon. In order to sensitize his players, the former world and European champion used the current example from the House of Commons. “I saw Hamburg against Osnabrück before our game,” said Alonso after the derby win, which saw the Bundesliga leaders extend their lead over FC Bayern to ten points: “Playing against ten is sometimes not easy. Hamburg lost against ten.” After an early challenge, their opponents Cologne had to play with only ten players for a long time.
