After two red cards: HSV suffer bitter defeat in Cologne | OneFootball

On Sunday evening, HSV had to endure a bitter defeat against 1. FC Köln. After two red cards and two late goals conceded, the Rothosen ultimately lost clearly with 1:4.

After a brief phase of mutual neutralization, the Rhinelanders took command early and put the guests under pressure. Florian Kainz narrowly missed the lead at first, before Ragnar Ache was perfectly positioned to score after a serious mistake by Albert Sambi Lokonga and strong persistence by Kainz (24').

HSV improved only after conceding the goal, but too often lacked the necessary goal threat. It was only Jean-Luc Dompé who tested Köln's keeper Schwäbe with a remarkable shot from the left edge of the penalty area (34'). The 0:1 halftime deficit was therefore justified after a largely harmless offensive performance.

HSV down to nine men in the end

FC came out of the dressing room with a lot of momentum and capitalized on a mistake by Lokonga, which gave the hosts a dangerous free-kick. Kainz took responsibility and beautifully curled the ball over the wall to make it 2:0 (48').

Shortly thereafter, HSV seemingly celebrated a goal, but after a lengthy VAR review, Fabio Vieira's goal was disallowed due to a prior foul (56'). Just a few minutes later, Hamburg had reason to celebrate: Dompé skillfully converted a precise cross from Mikelbrencis to make it 2:1 (61').

HSV's planned comeback ultimately failed, as the team suffered two setbacks in the final phase. Immanuel Pherai, who had just been substituted in, slipped in the rain and collided with Lund, receiving two quick yellow cards and a red card (79'). Just a few minutes later, the already cautioned Fabio Vieira was sent off after a verbal altercation with referee Schlager (83'). Before that, Giorgi Gocholeishvili had narrowly missed the equalizer after a precise Dompé cross.

In injury time, Köln's talent Said El Mala made it 3:1 after Schwäbe's long throw and Kaminski's sprint down the right side (90'+4). Shortly afterward, Kaminski capitalized on a major error by Gocholeishvili to seal the 4:1 final score (90'+8).
