It has never been more important than today!
Sonny Kittel (29) was the key to the 2-0 win in the tight and competitive top game between HSV and the strong Heidenheimers.
The playmaker dusted off a top combination between Robert Glatzel (28), Bakery Jatta (23) and Faride Alidou (20) to take the lead 1-0 (64th). An important chest solver in the thriller against the FCH.
In the 5-0 triumph at top team Darmstadt last week, Kittel was still missing due to a yellow card suspension. Now the technician was back, was spot on, and used one of Hamburg’s few chances coldly.
But that was not all! 14 minutes later, Kittel added a second. The Hamburg playmaker coldly converted a foul penalty to make it 2-0 (78th).
With 14 points from six games, HSV is still in the running for promotion. For Heidenheim it is the first bankruptcy in the last eight games.
