One scores, one sees red: HSV defenders centre stage on duty | OneFootball

HSV sent eight players off to their national teams. Some of them were already in action on Thursday.

The officials’ focus was especially on the Nations League clash between Norway and Denmark, where three Hamburg professionals were involved. From their point of view, however, it turned into a thoroughly unfortunate evening of football. While superstar Erling Haaland lived up to his reputation and secured a 3-2 home win for the hosts with a brace, David Møller Wolfe came on after 66 minutes and had to leave the pitch again before the final whistle.

Not even 120 seconds after being substituted on, he was booked for an obvious tactical foul on Patrick Dorgu. In the third minute of stoppage time, the left-back clearly stopped another promising attack illegally. Bundesliga referee Tobias Stieler had no choice but to show him a second yellow.

Omari scores first international goal

Møller Wolfe will therefore miss the highly anticipated top match against Portugal. Sander Tangvik will once again have to settle for a place on the bench, as he is in the same challenger role as at HSV and currently cannot get past first-choice goalkeeper Örjan Nyland. For the third HSV player involved, however, the international break is already over. Albert Grønbaek was only brought on in the closing stages, but suffered an injury during his brief appearance and has already left the Danish team again.

Meanwhile, Warmed Omari played the full 90 minutes. With Comoros, he opened the final group phase of Africa Cup qualification away in Cameroon. The island nation, which went into the match as clear underdogs, put up a strong fight but still lost 3-1. The HSV centre-back briefly raised hopes when, in the 51st minute, he got the final touch on a driven free-kick from midfield to make it 2-1.

Comoros continue on Tuesday with a pivotal home match against Namibia, coached by former HSV fan favorite Collin Benjamin. Omari is once again expected to play a key role. He was rarely convincing in 2026, but his goal, along with his solid display in the league match against Cologne beforehand, should have given him renewed confidence.
