First defeat: HSV women thrashed in Freiburg | OneFootball

Despite a strong performance, the HSV women suffered a clear defeat against SC Freiburg. After conceding three late goals, the promoted team lost 2-6.

The unbeaten run of the HSV women has come to an end: On Friday evening, coach Liese Brancao’s team had to accept a 2-6 defeat at SC Freiburg. Thus, after two draws, the North Germans suffered their first loss of this Bundesliga season.

Freiburg started dominantly and deservedly took the lead after 23 minutes through Lisa Karl. But HSV showed character: Svea Stoldt equalized after a beautiful combination and strong assist from Melanie Brunnthaler (42’). Shortly before halftime, however, Tessa Blumenberg capitalized on a misunderstanding in the Hamburg defense and put the hosts back in front (45’+1).

HSV fights hard for the equalizer

Right after the restart, Nicole Ojukwu made it 3-1 (52’), before substitute Annaleen Böhler immediately pulled one back with an impressive header (54’).

During this phase, the Hanseatic team was actually closer to equalizing than Freiburg was to scoring again. They repeatedly disrupted SCF early and forced turnovers. But as the game went on, their energy waned and the Freiburg women struck ruthlessly: Aurélie Csillag decided the match with a quick double in the 82nd and 84th minutes, before Leela Egli scored in stoppage time to make it 6-2.

“The result is much too high, but we showed that we are competitive,” summarized Brancao after the final whistle. Despite conceding six goals, her team put in a fighting performance and could have rewarded themselves with a bit more efficiency in front of goal.

There’s not much time for the HSV women to catch their breath: Already on Thursday, the away match at RB Leipzig awaits, and three days later, the cup match at 1. FC Magdeburg follows.
