Penalty drama: HSV crash out to Kiel in dramatic shootout 😱 | OneFootball

Just three days after their sensational victory over Stuttgart, HSV treated their fans to another drama. After 120 exhausting minutes, the Red Shorts failed in the penalty shootout against Holstein Kiel. The team had only conceded the 1-1 equalizer shortly before the final whistle.

Hamburg took the initiative early on, but Timon Weiner had no trouble saving Fabio Vieira’s first long-range attempt (6’). More chances followed: Giorgi Gocholeishvili missed the target by a wide margin from a tight angle (17’), before Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit was blocked on the other end after a fine pass from Vieira (20’).

The best chances of the first half, however, belonged to the visitors: Phil Harres broke free in front of Daniel Peretz after a strong pass from Adrián Kapralik, but the HSV keeper made a brilliant save (26’). The Storks remained aggressive and kept pushing forward bravely. Shortly before halftime, the lively Kapralik missed a sure lead when he fired a perfect cross from John Tolkin over the bar from close range (43’). So the teams went into the break goalless.

HSV and Kiel Miss Top Chances

Kiel started the second half with pressure and missed taking the lead by just centimeters. Once again it was Kapralik, who narrowly missed the far post from a half-left position (50’). HSV responded with a quick attack down the left: Ransford Königsdörffer made it to the byline and cut the ball back to Rayan Philippe, who fired over the bar from close range (54’).

The Red Shorts remained more active afterwards, but neither Vieira from a tight angle nor Philippe on the rebound could get the ball over the line in Kiel’s box (74’).

Then things got turbulent: Peretz misjudged a corner, but Daniel Zec couldn’t get the ball over the bar at the far post (78’). Almost immediately on the counter, Gocholeishvili hit only the left post after a powerful run (80’). Shortly after, Peretz had to save against a dangerous counter shot from Niklas Niehoff (82’). Both teams missed the lucky punch, so the match went into extra time.

HSV Shows Nerves in Penalty Shootout!

In extra time, it was substitute Bakery Jatta of all people who slotted in from close range at the far post after Muheim’s sharp pass, relieving HSV (107’). But just before the end, Kiel equalized spectacularly: Phil Harres curled a direct free kick over the wall into the top left corner, leaving the keeper no chance and sending his team into the penalty shootout (118’).

There, the Red Shorts lost 2-4 despite saving one penalty. Muheim hit the crossbar, Aboubaka Soumahoro failed with a weak shot against Timon Weiner. Kiel striker Harres then sealed the win by converting the decisive penalty. The second division side is in the quarterfinals, HSV is out!
