Second League: An incredible embarrassment for the HSV

On the day before the decisive match of the Hamburger SV was trying to spread hope. On his Internet channels of the Association published a picture. Aaron Hunt, shows the team captain, the slips on the turf, the outstretched right leg. He tried to make a Ball stop, the ins roll, but still the line of the field of play touches. Under the picture stands: "It's not over before it's over."

On Sunday afternoon, it's a little more than twelve minutes were played in the duel between HSV and SV Sandhausen cross Julius Biada the Ball in the penalty area, where Kevin Behrens, his striker partner from Sandhausen, in the battle with the Hamburg defender Rick van Drongelen the foot stretched out. One of the two – rather, van Drongelen – touched the Ball, the aufhüpfte once and only in the goal net again abbremste. It was different than in the picture on the Internet, not a Hamburger because that can hold up the Ball would have. Not goalkeeper Julian bollard Beck, Aaron Hunt, even if no one else.

In this Moment hinted for the first Time, what was later: It's really over. Hamburger SV, the big favorite, will not rise again. He will also play next season in the second League, the third year in a row. The 1. FC Heidenheim lost in Bielefeld, Germany, a draw would have been enough hamburgers to get in the play-off against Werder Bremen compete. To 17.23 at, as the game was ended, had sandy won the live in Hamburg 5:1.

"We have there been easily done out of your Hand", said HSV-Coach Dieter Hecking: "There is not the one to blame." The starting position for Hecking had been complicated prior to the decision in addition to the table. He had to replace two inside defenders: Louis Jordan Beyer lacked locked, Timo Letschert hurt.

Perhaps a two stop could have been that Behrens was in the twelfth Minute, so vigorously for the Ball. Maybe you'd Behrens also in the 22. Minute can stop, as he supply alone on goalkeeper bollard Beck, and with a flat shot the 2:0 scored. So could stop Behrens in the first half only. He gave then a Chance, which was much more promising than any of the HSV at this time. There was just a shot of Joel Pohjanpalo via the gate (5.) and a Martin Harnik in the gloves of the goalkeeper (45.).
