HSV ratings vs Frankfurt: a warrior and two magic feet stand out! | OneFootball

How important was that? After a full 104 minutes in Frankfurt’s summer sun, HSV were finally able to celebrate a 2–1 victory.

With only two matchdays remaining, the gap to the relegation playoff spot now stands at a whopping eight points. HSV earned this comfortable position with a spirited, hard-fought performance that ended in an emotional away win. Four men in red stood out in particular.

Daniel Heuer Fernandes: After making several strong saves against Can Uzun earlier on, the HSV goalkeeper was powerless for the goal conceded. Even so, he delivered a top performance – once again! Rating: 2

Bakery Jatta (until 68'): After a very active start, some at times serious technical flaws crept into his game. The “highlight” was losing the ball before the 0–1. He was substituted shortly afterwards due to injury. Rating: 5

Nicolas Capaldo: What a battling display! The Argentine drove the SGE stars almost to despair with his intensity and, despite standing only 1.77m tall, was the tower in the battle. The unusually high number of inaccurate passes could be forgiven. Rating: 2

Jordan Torunarigha (until 82'): After another solid performance, he had to leave the pitch early following a heavy collision. With the upcoming fixtures in mind, all we can do is hope for the best. Rating: 2-

Warmed Omari: A clear improvement compared to the difficult previous weeks. Before the 0–1, however, he failed completely to get into the duel with Uzun. He made amends with the assist for the 1–1. Rating: 3-

Albert Grønbaek (until 78'): In the unfamiliar left-sided defensive role, he produced his best performance in an HSV shirt. The important goal for 1–1 and a superb assist for Vieira made him the man of the second half. He too later had to go off injured. Rating: 2

Nicolai Remberg: As (almost) always, extremely solid without the ball. Safe in his passing as well, but with little progressive play. That’s not really his job, though. Rating: 3+

HSV: Vieira shines, strikers completely anonymous

Sambi Lokonga (until 78'): On his return to the starting lineup, he showed just how important he is for HSV and noticeably stabilized central midfield. His technical level is far too high for a relegation battle. Rating: 3+

Fabio Vieira: His run, first touch and finish for the 2–1 were outstanding. In other transition moments, he was criminally left all alone by his teammates. Rating: 2

Ransford Königsdörffer: His most noticeable moment: in the 18th minute, he overlooked the completely unmarked Vieira on a counterattack. That says it all about his afternoon. Still, the effort was there. Rating: 4-

Robert Glatzel (until 68'): Just like Königsdörffer, he was also completely isolated. After some strong recent weeks, the early substitution was the logical decision this time. Rating: 4-

Nur die Raute – All the news about HSV

Giorgi Gocholeishvili (from 68'): Defended passionately after coming on and, despite one or two untidy moments, helped see the lead over the line. Rating: Not rated

Damion Downs (from 68'): The fact that Vieira and Königsdörffer, who stayed on the pitch, were at times left to run counters on their own while Downs, despite his fresh legs, remained in his own half, simply cannot happen. Rating: Not rated

Luka Vuskovic (from 78'): Made his eagerly awaited comeback and immediately won two out of two aerial duels. Rating: Not rated

Daniel Elfadli (from 78'): Went about 20 minutes without any notable action and registered only three touches of the ball. Rating: Not rated

Yussuf Poulsen (from 82'): The captain also returned to the pitch after several weeks out injured. His minutes will likely now be increased cautiously. Rating: Not rated
