Defeat in Augsburg! HSV suffer major setback | OneFootball

In the pivotal duel with FC Augsburg, HSV suffered a bitter but overall deserved defeat. After a largely harmless offensive performance, the Red Shorts lost 0-1.

The Augsburg team had a significantly better start and quickly created a major chance when Anton Kade appeared free in front of Daniel Heuer Fernandes after a fine combination play. The German U21 international was denied by the HSV keeper (5th minute). Shortly after, the ball was in the Hamburg net, but Fabian Rieder's goal was disallowed due to a marginal offside position (8th minute).

The FCA remained dominant and missed the lead again. The noticeable Mert Kömür was denied from close range under pressure by Heuer Fernandes (20th minute). Dimitrios Giannoulis also made a statement, but his powerful shot from 15 meters was once again stopped by the outstanding HSV goalkeeper (23rd minute).

It was only in the final phase of the first half that the promoted team also made their presence felt offensively: Augsburg keeper Finn Dahmen made a strong save against Fabio Vieira's shot before Chrislain Matsima was able to clear a rebound from Ransford Königsdörffer off the line (45th minute). Overall, the Red Shorts were fortunate to go into halftime with a 0-0 score.

HSV remains too harmless offensively

The first dangerous attempt of the second half belonged to HSV: Giorgi Gocholeishvili tested Dahmen from a promising position with a too weak shot (47th minute). Jean-Luc Dompé also found no way past the FCA goalkeeper with his attempt from the left edge of the penalty area (62nd minute). Following these timid northern German attacking efforts, the game initially remained sluggish and characterized by mistakes on both sides.

But then Augsburg capitalized on their best offensive action of the second half: Giannoulis broke through on the left and found Anton Kade with his precise cross, who volleyed the ball in to take the lead (76th minute).

Shortly thereafter, the hosts weakened themselves when Keven Schlotterbeck was sent off with a second yellow card for a clear foul on Königsdörffer (81st minute).

Hamburg increased the pressure with a numerical advantage but found no decisive openings against the now deep-defending Swabians (84th minute). Thus, Merlin Polzin's team suffers a bitter setback in the battle for survival in the league. With this defeat, FC Augsburg overtakes HSV, who now sit at 14th place in the standings.
