Hamburger SV is losing ground in the 2nd Bundesliga: On the 25th matchday, the North Germans lose the traditional duel against 1. FC Nürnberg. The Franks are working very close to the relegation place.
In a fast-paced and hard-fought top game, 1. FC Nürnberg defeated Hamburger SV 2-1 (1-1) in the 2nd Bundesliga. Full-back Tim Handwerker scored the acclaimed winning goal in the 88th minute of the game with his weaker right foot.
In front of 25,000 spectators in the sold-out Max Morlock Stadium, Pascal Köpke scored for Franconia (15th minute) and Ludovit Reis (25th) for HSV. Nuremberg overtook HSV (41) with 42 points and, after a short winning streak, are back in the fight for promotion.
The game started intensely. Both teams tried to get powerful in front of the opposing goal. Nuremberg’s Taylan Duman tried it from a distance. Attacker Köpke pushed the ball past the goal after a cross from Kilian Fischer. At the other end, Giorgi Chakvetadze was unable to overcome FCN goalkeeper Christian Mathenia and Asger Sörensen, who put things together.
A short time later, Nuremberg cheered: After a great dribbling by Fabian Nürnberger, Hamburg’s Mario Vuskovic was only able to defend the cross with a tackle – Köpke switched the fastest on the ground and pushed in to give the “Club” the lead.
But the jubilation in the stadium was short-lived. Bakery Jatta prevailed for the dominant Hamburgers on the right wing, put back on Reis, who completed flat into the left corner. In the second half, the level of the hard-fought game flattened out. But she remained gripping. Handwerker forced a shot by Daniel Heuer Fernandes to defend with a fist (58th). The next time the defender tried, the HSV goalkeeper couldn’t get the ball.
