The Northern Derby between HSV and Werder Bremen offered plenty of drama alongside five goals. Emotions boiled over, especially after the final whistle.

As soon as the match ended, HSV youngster Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit, who was not in the squad due to injury, stormed across the entire field directly towards the Bremen bench. With wild gestures and provocative movements, the 18-year-old reportedly further incited the already frustrated Werder players. Manager Clemens Fritz (via Bild) later shook his head: “HSV won. There were provocations from HSV. That was unnecessary.”

Goal scorer Justin Njinmah, who made the derby exciting again with his temporary 2-2, was even more outspoken: “Some injured HSV players run onto the field and think they have to gesture and talk crap. That pisses me off.” He added ruefully: “But that probably comes with a derby.”

HSV left-back Miro Muheim expressed it similarly pragmatically: “Emotions are part of it. In the end, we won and they lost.”

Njinmah announces revenge against HSV!

For Njinmah, born in Hamburg and active for Eimsbütteler TV during his youth, this could have been a very special derby. After difficult weeks with limited playing time, he brought Werder back into the game. However, it ended in a bitter defeat at the arch-rival, which “hurt twice and thrice” for him.

After the game, the guest players had to make the disappointed walk to the stands. “We were cheered up. I would have understood if it had been different,” said Njinmah.

One thing is certain: The Bremen team has certainly not forgotten this Northern Derby. For the rematch in April 2026, Njinmah already announced aggressively: “We will win the return match!” So, there is plenty of derby material for the coming months.
