Karlsruher SC defied HSV 1: 1 and even gave away a possible victory.
Ultimately, however, satisfaction outweighs the emotionally troubled Badeners.
Guest trainer Tim Walter also cools down quickly after his heated return home.
Karlsruhe - The fans celebrated them like winners, the players of the Karlsruher SC said goodbye to the international break a little more cautiously. Against Hamburger SV, the Baden team again offered a great spectacle on Saturday evening and were even closer to victory than the guests in the end. Ultimately, however, it stayed 1: 1 (1: 1) - and the KSC for the third time in a row in the 2nd Bundesliga without triple points. In view of the missed opportunities, the draw was "annoying," said goal scorer Philipp Hofmann on Sky. "After the last rollercoaster ride, we have to be satisfied."
After the coup at Bayer Leverkusen in the second DFB Cup round and the clap against SC Paderborn in the league, the Karlsruhe team experienced an up and down against HSV.Hofmann countered the Hamburg lead with his header goal in the 18th minute a nice flick from Sonny Kittel (14th). As a result, both teams had good opportunities in front of 20,000 frenetic spectators in the sold-out wildlife park - and the Baden team had bad luck when the busy midfielder Marvin Wanitzek (80th) hit the post.
"If you take the chances as a basis, we would have deserved it a little more," said KSC trainer Christian Eichner.
All in all, however, he can live with the point.
Just like Hamburg's coach Tim Walter, who in the meantime had a heated battle of words with Eichner on the sidelines when he returned to his old home and was shown a yellow card in the 85th minute for complaining.
