HSV hope to draw strength from BVB clash: "It's been a long time" | OneFootball

After three consecutive defeats, HSV secured an enormously important point against BVB. In the 97th minute, Ransford Königsdörffer scored the equalizer.

The late 1:1 sent the noise level in Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion through the roof. Together with their fans, the team celebrated a surprising point after the final whistle, one that felt much more like a victory. This was also made clear by the reactions of the key players involved afterwards.

“An unbelievably awesome feeling to have scored the equalizer so late,” enthused assist provider Miro Muheim after the match. “It was a really tough game, but we accepted the challenge and defended everything at the back. Now it’s time to catch our breath and build on this performance after the international break.”

Last-minute equalizer against BVB: “A truly special HSV moment”

HSV coach Merlin Polzin also praised his team’s performance in the highest terms. His summary at the press conference was: “The boys put in an energetic performance, because Dortmund showed great quality today. We had few chances with the ball, but there were always little moments that gave us hope. In the end, we were able to pin the opponent back at times – and football, with Ransi’s goal, once again wrote its own story.”

Goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes, meanwhile, especially highlighted the enormous significance of the late equalizer. “Yes,” he replied in the Sky interview when asked if this was one of those “truly special HSV moments.” “That’s exactly what we wanted to force. We haven’t had experiences like today for a long time. We’ll be talking about this for a while. The stadium needs exactly these moments. Days like this are just fun.”

Captain Yussuf Poulsen, who was visibly happy for his recently much-criticized strike partner Ransford Königsdörffer, summed it up: “That’s what football is about – emotions.”
