The Hamburger SV has consolidated its lead in the 2nd Bundesliga and administered a dampers to the promotion of the 1st FC Magdeburg. In front of 27,270 spectators, the Hamburgers made the FCM 3-0 (2-0) in front of 27,270 spectators. Ransford Königsdörffer (9th minute) and Marcus Mathisen (15th, own goal) steered the game early on. Again Königsdörffer (53.) with his eleventh goals of the season decided the game early.
With a demonstration of its current class, HSV thwarted all efforts by the hosts from the first minute. Königsdörffer in particular, who represented the suspended Davie Selke, did not get the Magdeburg under control. Even before his 1-0 he had a very good opportunity, he provoked the own goal with a solo on the left wing and a sharp flat input.
Even after the tour, the HSV remained the game -determining team, but withdrew after half an hour and then allowed the FCM more game shares. Except for one chance of Livan Burcu (33rd), nothing was noteworthy for the hosts.
After the break, the Magdeburgers tried to generate pressure again with three changes. But exactly into this phase, Königsdörffer was able to dance the FCM defense too simply too simple and push it into the short corner. From then on, the game splashed towards the end, the hosts struggled, the HSV was limited to defending and occasional counterattack, of which Königsdörffer (68.) still put one on the outer post. In the 88th minute, Robert Glatzel gave his comeback with the North German after a five -month injury break.
Double shock: Schalke played home win against Hannover 96
With two late goals, Hannover 96 won spectacularly at FC Schalke 04 and stays on the promotion places of the 2nd Bundesliga. The team of coach André Breitenreiter beat the district club 2-1 (0: 1). Jannik Rochelt in the 87th minute and Havard Nielsen a minute later turned the game in favor of the Lower Saxony. Due to the victory, the 96s came up to one point to the relegation place at least for the time being. Schalke, on the other hand, is stuck in the midfield of the table. Christopher Antwi-Adjei initially put the Gelsenkirchener in the lead (27th).
Despite the victory, there are restless days in Hanover. Because the club and capital side has not yet been able to agree on a new managing director, the license for the coming season is in danger. The 96s need a managing director who submits the license to the German Football League by Monday.
62,077 spectators in the Schalke arena had to be patient for a long time until the first dangerous goal. However, it was sitting directly. A shot from Mehmet Can Aydin was deflected so that the ball jumped exactly to Antwi-Adjei. The 31-year-old hit from a short distance.
The 96s, who had changed the Breitenreiter after the 1-1 in the derby against Eintracht Braunschweig to eight positions, struggled to answer a quick answer. However, Enzo Leopold was too stubborn on a good opportunity and missed the equalization. On the other hand, Ron Schallenberg had the chance to 2-0 with an artistic flight insert, but failed to Ron-Robert Zieler in the 96 goal.
Schalke had other ways to decide the game prematurely, but did not use it. That revenge. The substitutes Rochelt and Nielsen cheered the 96 fans who traveled with them.
