Hamburger SV’s hopes of promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga have been boosted again. However, HSV had to tremble for the narrow win against Hannover 96 until the final whistle.
With the 2-1 win over Hanover on matchday 33, HSV initially climbed into second place in the second division. However, Werder Bremen can overtake Hamburg again with a win or draw against Erzgebirge Aue on Sunday. With their own victory and the defeat of Darmstadt 98 on Friday at Fortuna Düsseldorf, HSV at least has the achievement of the relegation in their own hands. Even direct ascent is still possible.
HSV acts at first wildly determined
With the self-confidence of three wins in a row, HSV, which was written off a few weeks ago, acted with determination. But 96 played boldly and cleverly used their space against the very offensive hosts. Driven by 57,000 fans in the Volkspark, HSV attacked one after the other in the first half hour.

Glatzel with the double pack
Less than 30 seconds after a big chance for 96 center forward Hendrik Weydandt (12th minute), Hamburg came forward via Bakery Jatta on the right wing, his precise cross landed on striker Glatzel, who pushed in. The 2-0 was almost a copy of the opening goal, again Jatta found Glatzel in the middle, who let the ball drip from his chest over the line. Kerk, however, quickly dampened the mood of the Hanseatic League with his goal after the tunnel and a flick into the corner.
nervous flutter at the end
In this second division game with open visors on both sides, HSV wanted to calm things down after the break. Ludovit Reis (56′) shot just over the bar, Glatzel aimed just wide of the left post (71′), Faride Alidou (88′) missed the empty goal. The nerves of the Hamburgers fluttered increasingly, Hanover remained dangerous until the end.
HSV to Rostock, Hanover to Ingolstadt
On the last day of the game, HSV will play at Hansa Rostock (May 15, 2022, 3:30 p.m.), while Hannover will host FC Ingolstadt at the same time.
