"We knew we had not played a good first half, so we wanted to do better, it's bitter to see that we almost found balance at the final whistle," Hunt said. to Sky: "We missed a minute and it sent us but not off track, we are the first."

Wolf sprayed after the international break of two weeks before the shot of sending the action. "We are well placed, it is time to start again, we have almost the impression of a winter break," said the 37-year-old before the game. However, on this new self-esteem in Hamburg, we saw almost 45,584 spectators. Although the home team played well at first, but the Berliners were clearly superior in the first section in terms of duel, pbades and efficiency in the first section.

Symptomatic: When Mees finished the first dangerous attack with a dry right foot of eleven meters at 0: 1, the back of the HSV does not look good. Moreover, in the episode, Union, who had traveled to the Hanseatic city with the most stable defense of the 36 professional German clubs (8 goals), did not burn anything in front of his own goal and controlled the match. Marcel Hartel (24) could have even increased for the team of coach Urs Fischer.

Hunt and Holtby meet for Hamburg

For its part, the closing of Aaron Hunt just before the break was Hamburg's only half-dangerous offensive in the first section. Top scorer Lasogga, who scored six of HSV's seven goals this season at home and prepared one for him, was missed.

And yet, the HSV in the second period was much better, more orderly and especially resolved. The reward was the compensation by Hunt, who met the crowd of five meters. Barely seven minutes later, Holtby cleared Bakery Jatta, a Lasogga substitute, who was shaking his head. Abdullahi then rewarded the guests shortly before the end.
