Rocked the cup, it’s stalling in the promotion race!
After the semi-finals against Karlsruhe in the cup on Wednesday (5:4 nE), HSV stumbled in the 2nd division. The 2-1 defeat in Nuremberg is the third winless game in a row.
Nuremberg passes, Hamburg only in 5th place in league 2!
Meanwhile, Tim Handwerker lets Nürnberger dream of promotion again: In the 88th minute, his shot from almost 20 meters away resulted in the second HSV defeat in a row!
Köpke puts the club in the lead (15′), but HSV comes back into play first: Jatta goes steeply, lays down on Reis and he snaps to make it 1-1 (25′).
The battle for promotion is getting tighter for HSV: after losing to Nuremberg and losing 3-2 in the North Derby against Werder last weekend, HSV is now six points behind leaders Darmstadt and local rivals St. Pauli (both 47 points).
Should Werder win against Dresden (1.30 p.m.) on Sunday, it would even be seven points to Bremen …
