Now only a miracle can help HSV!
Hamburg loses the game that is probably their last chance for promotion against league leaders Kiel – 0-1.
This means that the minimum goal of relegation place 3 is a long way off. Due to Düsseldorf’s victory (1-0 against Fürth), HSV is six points behind with only four games left and has a goal difference that is 16 goals worse than the consistently strong Fortuna (six wins in a row). They are eight points behind the first direct promotion place with St. Pauli (Sunday in Hanover).

Kiel remains HSV’s feared opponent and is becoming a spoilsport in the fight for promotion. The Hamburgers were only able to win one of the twelve second division duels against the Störche (six draws). Not a single competitive game has been won at home (four draws, two defeats).

The first setback for coach Baumgart before kick-off: Benes, the top scorer (13 goals, eleven assists), was missing for a short time due to muscular problems and was not even in the squad.
Nothing happens in the game for a long time – until shortly before the break. Becker shoots the ball into Reis’s arm from close range. Referee Stegemann looks at the scene, but doesn’t point to the point – lucky for HSV.
A few hours earlier, a penalty for Fürth was withdrawn in a similar scene in Düsseldorf.
After the break, HSV presses on the goal – but Kiel strikes ice cold!
After a corner, Holtby finds Rothe at the second post, who hits the ball under the crossbar and gives the league leaders the lead (59th). In front of the goal, Raab is blocked and grabbed by Ivezic, but Stegemann does not call for a foul.
After the yellow-red card for Kiels Holtby, Hamburg threw everything forward again – without success.
Disappointment at HSV, celebration in Kiel, who have taken a big step towards the Bundesliga with six points ahead of Düsseldorf.
