Home win against Bielefeld: HSV is gaining momentum

Hamburg (SID) Hamburger SV is gradually gaining momentum in the 2nd league. The Bundesliga relegated team defeated Arminia Bielefeld 3-0 (1-0) and recorded their second win in a row. With six points, HSV is only one point behind the top after the third matchday. Lewis Holtby (9th) scored for HSV with a header from a corner. Striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga secured the first home win of the season with a brace (75th/88th, penalty kick). For Hamburg, who had lost their home premiere against Holstein Kiel (0:3), Monday's game was also about the chance to surpass their unpopular city rivals FC St. Pauli with a win in the table. “I would like to fulfill our fans’ wish,” said HSV coach Titz before the game. The main focus, however, is “on Arminia Bielefeld and the home win.” This is the only way to establish yourself at the top. Titz probably suspected that this undertaking would be difficult enough. Bielefeld acted quite cleverly in front of 46.934 spectators in the Volksparkstadion, were aggressive in the duels and even had more chances in the first section. Andreas Voglsammer missed the biggest opportunity shortly before the break. After a catastrophic cross pass from Rick van Drongelen, Arminia's attacker was suddenly free in front of HSV keeper Julian Pollersbeck, who grabbed the ball while running backwards on the edge of the penalty area. Even the TV picture couldn't clearly clarify whether it was a criminal handball or not. And HSV? He impressed with his great commitment, lots of ball possession - and strong standards. So it was no surprise that Holtby scored from an ambush after a corner. Meanwhile, there was hardly any sign of the recovered captain Aaron Hunt (calf problems). Khaled Narey is completely different. The offensive player put his stamp on the game in the second half. If things got dangerous, it was about him. But his shots (48th, 63rd and 64th) just missed the target. The guests' best chance was missed by Keanu Staude, whose shot from a half-left position rushed past the far post (67'). A little later, Lasogga made the preliminary decision - first with a powerful finish, then from the spot. The beefy attacker had already scored twice in the cup at TuS Erndtebrück (5:3) a week ago.
