Bitter blow despite derby win: HSV star suspended after final whistle!

The HSV's derby victory has received at least a small footnote. The background is the confrontation between both teams.

Immediately after the final whistle, the joy of Hamburger SV over the 3-2 victory turned into a heated aftermath. And this even had consequences that could be costly for HSV. Midfielder Nicolai Remberg was suspended due to his fifth yellow card after the match and will miss the away game against TSG Hoffenheim next Saturday.

But what happened? Even before the last cheers had faded, the tension between both teams erupted in front of the benches. What started as an emotional but rule-compliant celebration quickly escalated into a heated scuffle. Bremen players felt provoked by two HSV professionals who celebrated exuberantly right in front of their bench.

Particularly the 18-year-old Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit, currently sidelined due to injury, shouted his joy with clenched fists towards the Werder bench. For the already frustrated guests, this was too much.

What followed was a wild chaos: pushing, shouting, heated verbal exchanges. Only a few players kept their composure. HSV defender Jordan Torunarigha and Werder's goal scorer Jens Stage tried to mediate, while other players – including Remberg – were caught in the middle of the melee. Referee Sascha Stegemann showed the enforcer a yellow card for his behavior after the final whistle, which now means Remberg's first suspension in an HSV jersey.

"I didn't really notice all of it. I was celebrating," said left-back Miro Muheim later. "Emotions are part of it. In the end, we won and they lost."

One thing is clear: After a three-year derby break, the northern duel has immediately returned to full operating temperature. However, HSV must now savor their triumph with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Because in the form of Remberg, the Rothosen will be missing an absolute regular player and key performer in Sinsheim.
