Completely unimpressed by the severe leadership crisis at their club, the Hamburger SV team continues to work on returning to the Bundesliga.
Thanks to a spectacular solo run by Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer in added time (90+2), the table leaders also won the second division top game at Hannover 96 2-1 on Friday evening (1:
Hanover - 1).
The fifth win in a row came late but deserved.
In front of the first division crowd of 49,000 spectators, the significantly better players from Hamburg fell behind in the 4th minute because their defender Miro Muheim slipped in their own penalty area and his opponent Sei Muroya only had to push the ball into the goal.
When equalizing, the 96ers gave back a similar gift just eleven minutes later when Julian Börner scored an own goal (15th).
This highly intense northern duel took place just two evenings after the resignation of HSV CFO Thomas Wüstefeld, who had lost the trust of the supervisory board due to numerous allegations against him.
This affair left Hamburg just as cold as the early deficit, because they dominated this top game almost continuously.
The playful superiority of HSV was at times so great that the 96ers had little choice but to narrow the spaces and defend compactly.
The Lower Saxony hardly found their own offensive game.
And they didn't succeed in stopping every Hamburg attack either: Sonny Kittel (13th/19th/66th), Robert Glatzel (41st/52nd), Pechvogel Muheim (41st) and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer (86th). .) several good chances for HSV or failed because of the strong 96 goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler.
Hannover only broke this dominance a little after an hour, but were not nearly as dangerous in attack as HSV.
