What a performance! Determined HSV battle to 2-2 draw against Bayern | OneFootball

After a self-sacrificing battle, HSV wrestled a 2-2 draw from the mighty FC Bayern. In doing so, the North Germans delivered their best performance of the season.

To the great surprise of the 57,000 spectators, the first few minutes belonged to the Red Shorts. Merlin Polzin's protégés appeared extremely aggressive and had the first chance of the match through a header from Luka Vuskovic (6’).

As the game progressed, the visitors found their way into the match. HSV keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes made two strong saves in quick succession against Michael Olise (14’) and Lennar Karl (15’). But for the time being, that was all Bayern could muster. The newly promoted team defended very compactly and repeatedly launched dangerous counterattacks of their own.

Just as against Gladbach, Nicolas Capaldo found himself free in front of goal after a well-timed run and forced Manuel Neuer into a brilliant save (24’). The best chance for Munich came from Joshua Kimmich, who struck a powerful long-range shot against the Hamburg crossbar (29’).

A few minutes later, the stadium erupted: After a foul on Nicolai Remberg, referee Harm Osmers awarded HSV a penalty. Fabio Vieira stepped up and calmly converted to give HSV the lead (34’). Bayern, however, responded before halftime and equalized after a strong attack, with Harry Kane making it 1-1 (42’).

HSV Fights for a Sensational Point

HSV completely missed the start of the second half. Just seconds after coming on, Luis Diaz found himself completely unmarked and scored to make it 1-2 (46’). The North Germans almost responded immediately, but Vieira narrowly missed with a first-time shot from the edge of the box (50’). Luka Vuskovic did better, heading in from close range after outstanding work by William Mikelbrencis to deservedly level the score at 2-2 (53’).

After the equalizer, the record champions launched an all-out attack. Things got really dangerous when a repeatedly deflected corner cross hit the HSV crossbar (65’). Despite the mounting pressure, the hosts were by no means content to just defend. On the contrary: after a well-executed counterattack, Alphonso Davies managed to clear a Vieira effort off the line at the last moment (75’).

Unsurprisingly, the final phase belonged to Bayern. But HSV continued to throw everything at the league leaders and, after 99 exhausting minutes, were able to celebrate a point that was as surprising as it was deserved!
