Big points against Union: Is HSV safe from relegation now? | OneFootball

After the 3-2 victory over Union Berlin and the simultaneous defeats of their rivals, HSV is the big winner of the current matchday.

Indeed, after the thriller against the Iron Ones, the Rothosen are proudly sitting at an impressive ninth place. The Rothosen have only been ranked this well once before this season – after the 4-0 victory over Mainz on the 6th matchday.

That HSV finds itself in the upper half of the table again after 21 completed matches is a result of the strong development in their gameplay in recent weeks. Even against Union, the newly promoted team was the dominant side for large parts of the match. “In my opinion, the victory is absolutely deserved,” declared an overjoyed Nicolai Remberg after the final whistle. “We executed our counterattacks well and scored great goals.”

Nevertheless, the Hanseatics had to sweat it out in the final phase. The 2-3 goal by Andrej Ilic led to dramatic final minutes at the Volksparkstadion. “It was a tough battle throughout the entire match,” Remberg also acknowledged.

After 22 matchdays: Is HSV already saved?

But HSV had the longer breath. Thanks to two goals from the outstanding Ransford Königsdörffer, Merlin Polzin's team also surpassed the Iron Ones, who had the same points, due to a better goal difference. Since Werder Bremen, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and FC St. Pauli all lost in the parallel matches, the Hanseatics can be considered the big winners of the weekend so far. Despite having played one less match, their lead over the relegation spot is still six points.

Is the topic of the relegation battle in Hamburg already history? “Exactly in this situation lies a danger,” warned Daniel Heuer Fernandes in the Sky interview earnestly. “We stay focused, we stay with ourselves.” Every victory in the Bundesliga is hard-earned work, the keeper continued.

And yet: “This passion, this intensity, and also this creativity in play make us strong!”
