HSV player ratings v Gladbach: Attackers still not up to scratch! | OneFootball

At the start of the second half of the season, HSV had to settle for a 0:0 draw at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach. It was a result that hardly reflected the course of the match.

Especially in the first half, the Red Shorts clearly dominated the proceedings, created chance after chance, and should have taken the lead multiple times. Gladbach barely appeared for long stretches and had their goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas to thank for not falling behind. After the break, HSV initially remained in control before their energy waned and the visitors found their way into the game. All in all, it remains a flattering draw for Borussia, in which many Hamburg players delivered more than just a respectable performance.

HSV vs. Gladbach: Player Ratings

Daniel Heuer Fernandes: The HSV keeper had a virtually peaceful evening and was almost unoccupied for the entire 90 minutes. Since not a single shot was fired at his goal, he had no chance to distinguish himself. Rating: 3

Bakery Jatta (until 84th): Jatta worked the right flank almost single-handedly, covered a lot of ground, and showed improvement compared to the Freiburg match. The problem remains: his offensive actions are often too imprecise. Rating: 3-

Nicolas Capaldo (until 67th): As usual, the Argentine was extremely active in counter-pressing and repeatedly pushed forward decisively. He should have taken advantage of the big chance to make it 1:0, even as a defender. Later, he had to leave the field due to injury. Rating: 2-

Luka Vuskovic: The young center-back was as reliable as ever and won the highly anticipated duel against Haris Tabakovic surprisingly effortlessly. With his bold free kick from almost 30 meters, he may have overdone it a bit. Rating: 2-

Jordan Torunarigha: Torunarigha was notably involved in building up play, had 107 touches, and contributed with good forward runs and numerous creative ideas. Still, he remains prone to occasional technical errors. Defensively, however, flawless. Rating: 2-

Miro Muheim: Offensively, the left-back was extremely active, especially in the first half, but ultimately unsuccessful. Missed a good chance with his weaker right foot and shot wide from distance several times. Defensively, he was much more stable than recently, although a potentially fatal loss of possession in the 75th minute briefly caused some unrest. Rating: 3+

Nicolai Remberg: Remberg impressed especially early on with bold offensive runs and a powerful long-range shot that posed a real threat. He also repeatedly shone with important ball recoveries in midfield. He is and remains Mr. Indispensable. Rating: 2

Fabio Vieira: Finally deployed nominally in central midfield, Vieira was extremely present in the first half and directed HSV’s play with great confidence. He was clearly the most technically gifted player on the pitch, even if he faded a bit after the break. Rating: 2-

Jean-Luc Dompé (until 79th): Early on, he created danger and was highly noticeable in combination with Muheim and Vieira. However, he should have made much more of his promising opportunities several times. Rating: 3-

Ransford Königsdörffer (until 67th): Königsdörffer set up the first big chance with a low cross and was only a toe away from scoring shortly after. As the game went on, his impact noticeably diminished. Especially in duels, he was too toothless. Rating: 4

Damion Downs (until 79th): The young striker showed solid promise, set up Capaldo’s big chance well, and was involved a bit more than in his debut. However, he must take his huge chance after the break; overall, he remains a bit unlucky. Rating: 4

The Substitutes:

Rayan Philippe (from 67th): Including stoppage time, he had 30 minutes to make an impression. Philippe did not take this chance. Rating: 4

Giorgi Gocholeishvilli (from 67th): The Georgian took over from Capaldo and brought a similarly high intensity to the game. Rating: 3

Robert Glatzel (from 79th): After several weeks out injured, Glatzel made his comeback against Gladbach. In the coming weeks, he is likely to get significantly more opportunities. Rating: No rating

Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit (from 79th): His determination cannot be denied. However, the teenager still too often tries to run through walls. Rating: No rating

Guilherme Ramos (from 84th): As so often, Polzin brought him on late for the necessary aerial presence. Rating: No rating
