Of all people: HSV star gets revenge on VfB Stuttgart | OneFootball

His first official goal for HSV is something truly special. Fabio Vieira had double the reason to celebrate after the last-minute victory against VfB Stuttgart.

Ironically, the man who had been negotiating with VfB Stuttgart for months in the spring and ultimately didn't receive an offer, became the match-winner against those very Swabians. Fabio Vieira only entered the game in the 68th minute during HSV's 2-1 home victory. But in stoppage time, he experienced his most emotional moment as a Rothose so far.

With an ice-cold finish in the 94th minute, Vieira secured the celebrated winning goal for Hamburg. The promoted team was even playing with one man down after Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit was sent off in the 81st minute.

“I am so happy about my first Bundesliga goal. And to do it at home, in front of our fans, means so much to me,” said the playmaker after the final whistle, still visibly electrified by the late triumph. He dedicated his goal explicitly to the HSV supporters, who, according to him, “support sensationally both at home and away.”

Vieira is "very happy" at HSV

One aspect makes the goal even sweeter: According to Bild information, Vieira was high on VfB Stuttgart's wish list in the spring, negotiating intensively and seemed to be a hot candidate for weeks. However, the Swabians ultimately decided to transfer Bilal El Khannouss instead.

Vieira, on the other hand, transferred to HSV on Deadline Day. “Yes, we talked with VfB,” he confirmed after the direct duel. “But I am very happy to have gone to Hamburg. The club is incredible, the team sensational.”

That he initially sat on the bench against Stuttgart seemed irrelevant to Vieira. “I wasn't upset, I just wanted to help,” assured the match-winner afterward. And how he helped.
