–

Berlin – It was done. 77,000 fans (including around 20,000 HSV fans) were in the Berlin Olympic Stadium on Thursday evening and saw a 1-0 (0-0) victory Hamburger SV at Bundesliga club Hertha BSC in the first relegation game. Ludovit Reis scored the goal of the day in the 57th minute.

The 1st half: VAR “saves” both teams

While there was an incredibly good mood on the stands in both corners, it was rather dead trousers on the grass. The first quarter of an hour there was no shot on one of the goals. Hertha gradually took over the initiative and established itself in the Hamburg half. After the first corner for the Rothosen, Muheim (22nd) fired the first shot on goal, but then missed his target a bit. From then on, the encounter was balanced again. It became robust after half an hour when Tousart cleared Jatta’s side and received a yellow card for it. Excitement in the 32nd minute. Glatzel with a shot at the Berlin goal, while Pekarik is said to have deflected the ball decisively with See Hand. Referee Osmers had the scene checked and found that Hamburg’s pipe had previously hit the ball. No penalty for HSV. The guests now with more pressure and fast play. Glatzel (40′) headed a cross from Rohr to the side netting. The first chance for the Berliners came in the 44th minute when two Hertha players missed a cross in the penalty area. Shortly thereafter, the home side cheered because the ball was in the net. And again the VAR was consulted. He decided that Belfodil was offside on the cross. That was a tight thing. It went goalless in the cabins.

After the break: Reis shoots Hamburg to the advantage

HSV came out of the catacombs better, immediately took control and had a good free-kick opportunity after a foul on Muheim in front of the Berlin penalty area. Vuskovic (50th) hammered the ball into the wall. On the other hand, Jovetic (51st) fell to the ground in the 16th minute, but there was no whistle. The duels became more bitter. And then came Played with Reis (57.) whose shot from the cross hit behind Hertha’s professional debutant Christensen in the goal to make it 1-0 for the red pants. And almost shortly afterwards the equalizer, but Heuer Fernandes parried a shot from Belfodil (61st) world class. Now the HSV put the Berliners together and had significantly more chances of another goal. There were plenty of counterattack chances for the visitors. Berlin seemed helpless after conceding, with no sign of resistance. Kittel (79th) put a shot over it from twelve meters. Reis (86th) from a distance, but too harmless for Christensen. Two minutes before the end there was another moment of shock in front of the Hamburg goal, but a foul on Heuer Fernandes stopped all Berlin hopes of equalizing. And once again Christensen was there against a shot by Gyamerah (93′). After that it was over. Both clubs will meet next Monday at 8:30 p.m. for the second leg in the Volksparkstadion.

The conclusion: An absolutely deserved victory for HSV

The mood was excellent from both fan camps and in the end the people of Hamburg celebrated. And rightly so. What their trainer kept preaching, they brought to the pitch. Hertha had only flashed their skills in phases. But for a game like this it just wasn’t enough. HSV fought with passion and courage and after the lead, the guests had everything under control. You didn’t have the feeling in the stadium for a second that the Berliners would come back again. In the end, the result could have been 2-0 or 3-0.
