📸 Moments later HSV score: Bundesliga striker misses a sitter | OneFootball

Union Berlin’s striker Andrej Ilic is experiencing a truly disastrous season so far—at least when it comes to scoring goals. As a striker, that’s naturally the main thing he’s judged on. 

In 21 appearances, the Serb still hasn’t found the back of the net. At least he’s already provided nine assists. But scoring just doesn’t seem to work out for him. Against Hamburger SV, the 25-year-old even missed an open goal. 

HSV keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes misjudged a ball, missed it completely, and Ilic really only had to tap it in. 

But under heavy pressure from Jordan Torunarigha, he put the ball just wide of the left post. In the immediate counterattack, HSV captain Nicolas Capaldo was able to score the opening goal. A double blow for Union and Ilic. 

Update: At least Ilic was able to score his first goal of the season shortly before the final whistle.
