Königsdörffer strikes: ten-man HSV earn point against Augsburg! | OneFootball

HSV showed character in the relegation battle and battled to a 1-1 draw against FC Augsburg despite being a man down. In a match that for a long time looked like a missed opportunity, the point gained almost felt like a success in the end.

The hosts fell behind early on: Arthur Chaves put Augsburg in front after 23 minutes. Despite their superiority in play, the Rothosen initially lacked cutting edge. Hamburg were repeatedly denied either by strong FCA keeper Finn Dahmen or by their own wasteful finishing.

Königsdörffer rescues a point for HSV

After the break, HSV increased the pressure and were rewarded for it. Ransford Königsdörffer scored the deserved equalizer in the 60th minute. The assist came from Robert Glatzel, whom Merlin Polzin had surprisingly named in the starting lineup against the men from Augsburg.

But the euphoria did not last long. Just four minutes later, Miro Muheim was shown a red card after a professional foul. From then on, the promoted side had to hold their own with ten men.

In the closing stages, the match turned into an intense end-to-end battle. Augsburg also hit the post, but HSV remained dangerous as well. A handball penalty was rightly overturned by the video assistant. With great commitment, the ten men of the home side defended the point and at least avoided defeat. That leaves HSV with mixed feelings: the big chance to create some breathing room in the relegation battle was missed. Still, with a man down, they managed to prevent something worse.
