Hamburger SV suffered another setback in the 2nd Bundesliga.
Coach Tim Walter’s team was unable to benefit from the blunders of the competition on the 13th match day and lost on Sunday against newly promoted 1. FC Magdeburg 2:3 (0:1). HSV couldn’t do more than connect goals from Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer (58 minutes) and Tom Sanne (90.3). Mo El Hankouri (11′), Baris Atik (51′) and Julian Rieckmann (88′) scored for the guests coached by former HSV coach Christian Titz.
As a result, HSV remained without a win in October and is still in third place. On Friday and Saturday, first-placed Darmstadt 98 and second-placed SC Paderborn only drew. Due to the point losses of the top teams, 1. FC Heidenheim and Fortuna Düsseldorf moved closer to the promotion places.
Fourth-placed Heidenheim defeated SpVgg Greuther Fürth 3-1 (2-0) and are only two points behind HSV. Düsseldorf won 2-0 (2-0) at Karlsruher SC and jumped to sixth place in the table. Fortuna is five points behind HSV.
