After a real lesson at VfB Stuttgart, Hamburger SV needs a football miracle for promotion to the Bundesliga. The second division third lost 0:3 in the first part of the relegation drama on Thursday and has to improve massively in the second leg on Monday (from 8.45 p.m. live with us) in order to somehow replace the Stuttgart team as a Bundesliga team. To make matters worse, Anssi Suhonen, who had just come on as a substitute, saw the red card after a hard, unsportsmanlike foul (69th).
Konstantinos Mavropanos after a few seconds, former HSV professional Josha Vagnoman (51st) and Serhou Guirassy (54th) put VfB in the best starting position with their goals to avert the third relegation since 2016 in the relegation. Guirassy missed a penalty kick (27th), in the first half the dominant Bundesliga side could have scored more goals in front of 47,500 spectators in the sold-out arena. The HSV-Elf coached by Tim Walter, who once had to leave VfB in strife, did not take part in an offensive for a long time. The Swiss Miro Muheim was only able to set a few accents at HSV.
It’s about a lot
For both clubs, there is a lot at stake in the relegation. The financial cuts for VfB would be in the double-digit million range in the event of relegation, HSV definitely wants to save itself its sixth year in the 2nd division.
HSV coach Walter experienced his extraordinary return full of energy on the sidelines. VfB went into their last second division season with the player from Baden, after just six months Walter had to leave the day before Christmas Eve 2019. “It’s going to be a great game: VfB Stuttgart, great club, against HSV, great club,” Walter teased.
