Aue celebrates first win of the season
Joker Doyle becomes a savior at HSV
Hamburger SV has continued its small series of successes in the 2nd Bundesliga and remained undefeated in the eighth game in a row. In the evening, the North Germans won a game marked by spectacular offensive actions at SC Paderborn with 2: 1 (1: 1) and improved to fifth place in the table for the time being. The Ostwestfalen remained without a win in the fourth home game in a row and missed the jump to a direct promotion place.
In front of 13,000 spectators in the Benteler Arena, Moritz Heyer (5th minute) and Tommy Doyle (90th + 4) scored the goals for Hamburg, Felix Platte (38th) scored for the hosts. A furious start gave the guests, who had changed to three positions, the opening goal with the first notable attack.
Two of the professionals newly appointed to the team were involved. Faride Alidou hit the post in his starting XI debut before Heyer scored the 1-0 for the guests with his fifth goal of the season. Shortly thereafter, Bakery Jatta (12th) and the strong Alidou (23rd) failed to SCP goalkeeper Jannik Huth.
The hosts, who last celebrated a home win against HSV in 2019 and thus blocked the promotion of the Hanseatic League, came in the intense game in one of the first good offensive actions to equalize by Platte. The striker hit the lower right corner with a left-footed shot following Sven Michel’s preparatory work.
Paderborn had the best chance for the winning goal through Uwe Hünemeier, who hit the post in the 54th minute. On the other hand, HSV also missed a few good opportunities, only when substitute Doyle scored in stoppage time to win.
Meanwhile, FC Erzgebirge Aue achieved their first win of the season. The Saxons prevailed against FC Ingolstadt 1-0 (0-0) in front of 7,349 spectators in the evening and pushed past the guests to the penultimate place in the table. Omar Sijaric made the decision with his first second division goal in the 63rd minute. In the final phase, Aue had to get by outnumbered, as Clemens Fandrich saw the red card in the 89th minute after a dispute with the linesman.
Aue was the more active team from the start and already had a great chance after three minutes thanks to Ben Zolinski. But he failed to FCI goalkeeper Fabian Buntic. It was the biggest possibility in the game until the break, as both teams neutralized each other in midfield. In addition, the hosts were too predictable in their attack efforts. Ingolstadt had no chances of its own to offer.
After the break, an Auer pressure phase led the hosts to take the lead from the 55th minute. The Ingolstadt defense, however, messed up the ball, Sijaric reacted quickly and turned untenable for Buntic. Ingolstadt tried it in the final phase, but the attack of the guests that evening was simply too weak.
