All thanks to a HSV fan: Hamburg heading for DFB-Pokal embarrassment | OneFootball

Hamburg wants to do better today against Pirmasens than Werder Bremen did yesterday in Bielefeld and not already embarrass themselves in the first round. Brief interim conclusion: It's going so-so so far.

After a not-so-glorious 0-0 at halftime, it only took a few minutes after the restart to hint that it could be difficult for the second North club from the Bundesliga today. After a corner, the Palatinate hosts scored 1-0. And that through an HSV member.

The ball was pushed over the line by Pirmasens' defense chief Yannick Griess, who is an avowed HSV fan. "I'm absolutely proud to be an HSV fan," the 29-year-old said before the game in an interview with 'SWR Sport'. That's how quickly you can go from HSV fan to HSV nightmare.
