Strike duo still lacking: HSV player ratings for the Hamburg derby | OneFootball

The highly anticipated city derby between FC St. Pauli and HSV was a complete disappointment in terms of sports. In a largely tedious and disjointed match, both teams almost completely neutralized each other.

Many duels, interruptions, and compact defensive lines characterized the proceedings over the full 90 minutes. Clear scoring chances were mostly absent. HSV had the best opportunity from a set piece, while St. Pauli only set offensive accents in the final phase.

Both goalkeepers rarely took center stage but reliably prevented goals. Thus, the match ended in a goalless draw, which accurately reflected the course of the game and did not live up to the high expectations of the derby.

Nur die Raute – All news about HSV

HSV against St. Pauli in individual review:

Daniel Heuer Fernandes: Experienced an extremely quiet first half and was largely unoccupied. It was only in the final phase that he came into focus when St. Pauli became more daring. However, he was fully present then, saving several shots confidently and securing the point. Rating: 2-

Bakery Jatta: Defensively, he did his job on the right side properly and allowed little. Offensively, however, his influence was limited. Although he had the first good HSV chance, his shot was called back for offside. Overall, he could provide few impulses going forward. Rating: 3

Nicolas Capaldo: Once again confirmed his enormous value to the team. His dynamic advances from the defense are now a firm part of HSV's repertoire. He also held his ground robustly against St. Pauli's fast attackers, thus preventing several dangerous counterattacks. Rating: 2

Luka Vušković: As almost always, one of the most noticeable Hamburg players on the field. Impressed with strong diagonal balls to the right side and repeatedly extricated himself remarkably casually from the hosts' pressing. He also had the best HSV chance after a corner (54th minute). His performance justified the "Man of the Match" award. Rating: 2

Jordan Torunarigha: Mostly acted attentively and reliably, rarely caught off guard. However, with the ball, he was significantly less conspicuous than recently against Gladbach and set few creative accents in the build-up play. Rating: 3+

Miro Muheim: In the absence of Dompé, he lacked offensive impact. His advances rarely had an effect, and he hardly got to cross. However, the Swiss presented himself defensively stable over long stretches and fulfilled his tasks without major errors. This has been seen differently this season. Rating: 3

Nicolai Remberg: As usual, showed himself to be strong and committed in the center. Especially at the beginning, he was noticeably fired up and sought many duels. His yellow card was debatable, but he also made one or two unnecessary ball losses this time. Rating: 3

Fábio Vieira: Visibly tried to bring control and structure to a disjointed game. Acted extremely securely in passing without decisively shaping the game. Against the ball, however, he impressed with high discipline and strong duel values. Rating: 3

Ransford Königsdörffer: His performance fit almost perfectly into the difficult season so far. Once again, he revealed glaring problems in decision-making and ball handling. Hardly any contact was clean, and he posed no real threat at any point. Rating: 5

Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit: Currently, he is the unlucky player of HSV. After a hard tackle, he had to leave the field early and could not make his mark on the game. Rating: Not rated

Damion Downs: Was almost completely isolated in the center forward position and lost all his four duels. Remained without any notable action. Based on previous performances, it takes a lot of imagination to see him as the hoped-for goal scorer for HSV's offense. Rating: 5

The substitutes:

Fabio Balde (from 14th to 68th minute): After an unexpectedly early substitution, he remained ineffective. Consequently, he returned to the bench about 55 minutes later. Rating: 4-

Robert Glatzel (from 68th minute): As a potentially dangerous target player, he noticeably suffered from HSV's inexplicable failure to launch a final offensive. Therefore, he could not make an impact. Rating: Not rated

Jean-Luc Dompé (from 68th minute): The Frenchman, touted by Merlin Polzin as a "finisher," had no further influence on the match in the final phase. His troublesome Achilles tendon is increasingly becoming a real problem. Rating: Not rated

Rayan Philippe (from 68th minute): Made a catastrophic mispass when he wanted to serve Vieira, who was free in the center, during a counterattack (82nd minute). He failed miserably in this attempt. Rating: Not rated

Sambi Lokonga (from 87th minute): Was on the field for only five minutes, during which he collected three ball contacts. Rating: Not rated
