HSV miss out on crucial derby points: "We're not happy" | OneFootball

The 113th city derby between HSV and FC St. Pauli ended goalless. For the Red Shorts, the 0:0 at the Millerntor meant more frustration than success. The chance to distance their rivals by eight points was missed.

HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes spoke of mixed feelings in his Sky interview. “The performance was okay to good, very stable, a lot of control, and also with a few chances. In my opinion, we were clearly the better team,” he explained. “Unfortunately, we weren’t dangerous enough going forward in that final third. You know how many tough games we’ve already had here away. That’s why the performance was good, but of course we’re not happy, because we wanted the win today.”

Central defender Luka Vuskovic was also dissatisfied: “I think we deserved three points, the way we played. The whole team is a bit disappointed because we all felt that we had them. But in the end, it’s just one point.”

Polzin makes it clear: HSV “definitely not satisfied”

Head coach Merlin Polzin assessed the away match at the Millerntor in a similar way. “You play derbies to win, and we didn’t manage that. That’s why we are definitely not satisfied with the result,” he made clear. They wanted “to give all HSV fans these three points,” knowing that this match is “not a normal football game” for many supporters.

Regarding his team’s performance, Polzin said: “We had a lot of control, but didn’t really create any scoring chances. And when we did get there, we simply needed to play things out more clearly. Nevertheless, we’ve now kept a clean sheet for the second game in a row.” However, the same applies to their own offense, which is something they want to keep working on.

At the press conference, the coach added: “It was a tough game, as expected. In the second half, we lost a bit of control. Overall, I’m not satisfied with many small details. Still, we’ll take the point.”
