"Looks a right mess": HSV players rue derby defeat | OneFootball

After the derby defeat against FC St. Pauli, the HSV players were visibly dejected. The Polzin protégés especially struggled with two scenes.

The good mood following the respectable Bundesliga start at Borussia Mönchengladbach (0:0) has already dissipated! In the city derby, the supposedly smaller neighbor clearly showed Hamburger SV their limits. At the latest after the 0:1 by Adam Dźwigała (19th minute), the Rothosen were the noticeably weaker team. "The first goal against us took away our momentum after a good start," admitted head coach Merlin Polzin at the press conference.

His captain Yussuf Poulsen echoed similar sentiments. "This is just crap," the striker said after the match. He also highlighted the avoidable nature of the first goal conceded.

Kiel newcomer Nicolai Remberg was even more explicit. The 0:1 was a "stupid standard goal" that should never have been conceded.

He also highlighted another scene: the yellow-red card against Giorgi Gocholeishvili in the 77th minute. "In the end, with the red card, you look like a fool," he lamented in the Sky interview. Although this dismissal did not change the result, in the final quarter-hour, HSV could not launch any final offensive. In 90 minutes, the promoted team managed to put only two balls on the goal of St. Pauli keeper Nikola Vasilj.

"We actually did well in the first half, but in the end, we deserved to lose," Remberg later summarized the football evening. And he was spot on with that.
