Hamburger SV once again conquered the top of the 2nd Bundesliga in a turbulent first match. Top goalkeeper Davie Selke (27th minute), Ransford-Yeboah Königsdorffer (60th) and Emir Sahiti (84th) provided the Hannetes’ 3:2 (1:0) victory at Hertha BSC.

For Berliners, there was no happy ending to the return of fan favorite Fabian Reese. With a lot of morality, the Berliners had almost turned the game into a spectacular final phase with a spectacular final phase with a lot of morality. HSV remains undefeated under coach Merlin Polzin. The promotion ranks are now seven points away for Herthans, who were winless in four home league games.

Hamburgers came into the game unusually harmless. Hertha-jungstar Ibrahim Maza was allowed to act with a lot of space and speed in the initial phase. The Berlin management should have provided their preparatory work for Palkó Dárdai (7th). However, Hertha’s illness remains in not being able to capitalize on the joy of playing.

Then the hosts Selke allowed an avoidable header. The striker, massively whistled by Hertha fans, clapped with a strange gesture of applause and appeasement towards the eastern curve.

Double Bitter: Model Adam Karabec was able to flank on the right side of Berlin, where regular players Jonjoe Kenny was missing for the first time this season. According to coach Cristian Fiél, the Englishman did not feel operational enough given his desire to move to Sheffield United.

The ex-Herhaner Selke had to go out with a buzzing skull (54th) after a collision with Toni Leistner. His substitute Königsdorffer had plenty of space and time in his goal. Berlin’s jubilation arrived at the return of the long-hardened Reese (66th). The big fan favorite also initiated kitchens and a shot from Winkler. But HSV had the last word.
