Hamburger SV has denied city rivals FC St. Pauli early promotion to the Bundesliga. In the 111th derby, the hosts won 1-0 (0-0) on Friday evening in front of 57,000 spectators in the sold-out Volksparkstadion. Robert Glatzel scored the winning goal with a header in the 85th minute.
Since third-placed Fortuna Düsseldorf scored 3-1 against 1. FC Nürnberg, the Kiezkickers have to hope for the next opportunity on May 12th against relegation-threatened VfL Osnabrück. With two game days to go, HSV still has a chance of reaching the relegation place with four points and 13 goals behind Düsseldorf.
After the two teams had already clashed during the warm-up, allegedly a St. Pauli player got into HSV’s half during the run-up and collided with an opposing player, Immanuel Pherai opened the game with the first opportunity for HSV (8th). . Nikola Vasilj blocked the long-range shot. When Glatzel scored the supposed 1-0 in the 24th minute, the fans in the Volkspark cheered. However, referee Matthias Jöllenbeck saw a foul by the HSV attacker and refused to recognize the goal. The guests’ most dangerous action was Johannes Eggestein, whose header went wide of the goal (41′).
St. Pauli with a clearly positive balance: This is how the second division derbies against HSV went
In the second section the game initially petered out. In the 62nd minute, Jöllenbeck took back another HSV goal. After watching the video images, a foul by Lukasz Poreba on Vasilj was punished. The St. Pauli goalkeeper was responsible for the goal when he came too late to counter Glatzel’s header from a corner from Miro Muheim. In stoppage time, Manolis Saliakas tackled substitute Masaya Okugawa. Jöllenbeck tried the video images again and decided on a penalty and yellow-red for the precarious Greek. However, Ludovit Reis failed because of Vasilj.
Fortuna Düsseldorf maintains its lead over HSV in the 2nd league
Fortuna Düsseldorf is continuing to put pressure on the promotion race and has taken the next step towards Bundesliga relegation. After the 3-1 (2-0) on Friday evening against 1. FC Nürnberg, the third-place team in the second division has now been undefeated for twelve games and has reduced the gap to league leaders FC St. Pauli to four points before the last two games of the season. Vincent Vermeij with a brace (34th/45th + 1) and substitute Ísak Jóhannesson (72nd) shot coach Daniel Thioune’s team to a well-deserved victory.
After 32 games, Fortuna is still four points ahead of fourth-placed Hamburger SV. Only two points separate Düsseldorf from Holstein Kiel in second place, although the North Germans will only play against relegation candidates SV Wehen Wiesbaden on this match day on Sunday. Should Kiel slip up, Fortuna could overtake them with a win in a direct duel on the next match day.
