In a test match against second division leader Hannover 96, HSV suffered a 1:3 defeat. Both teams played without numerous regular players.
The Hamburger SV continues to be in a results crisis. Even during the international break, there was a disappointment for the Red Shorts: In the test against second division table leader Hannover 96, the team of coach Merlin Polzin deservedly lost 1:3. Thus, HSV remains without a win after the goalless start in the Bundesliga (0:0 in Gladbach, 0:2 against St. Pauli).
Hannover, which was led by former HSV coach Christian Titz, on the other hand, presented itself confidently and efficiently. And this despite numerous absences. After a balanced initial phase, the game tipped shortly before the break within a few minutes. First, Waniss Taibi chipped the ball into the net after a fine pass from Franz Roggow over goalkeeper Fernando Dickes (41.), just three minutes later Yannik Rochelt used a fatal back pass from Guilherme Ramos for the 0:2 (44.).
Even after the break, 96 remained the more dangerous team. Although Yokota missed the possible preliminary decision in the 47th minute, Kolja Oudenne did better: Again served by Roggow, he circumvented Dickes and pushed in for the 0:3 (61.). HSV at times seemed insecure and repeatedly revealed serious defensive gaps.
At least the hosts managed a consolation goal: After a foul on Emir Sahiti, top scorer Robert Glatzel confidently converted the resulting penalty to 1:3 (73.).
Positive: The deadline day newcomers Albert Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira made their debuts after being substituted. However, in just under half an hour, both players could not significantly stamp their mark on the match. HSV presented itself improved in the final phase, but did not turn the result in their own direction.
