Hamburger SV set an example at the start of the second half of the 2nd Bundesliga and increased FC Schalke 04’s worries. With the 2-0 (2-0) win against the Bundesliga relegated team on Saturday evening, the Hanseatic League moved close to the direct promotion places in the table. Immanuel Pherai (22nd) and László Bénes (35th) scored before the break for the efficient guests in their coach Tim Walter’s 100th HSV game. Schalke’s Thomas Ouwejan was very unlucky, hitting the crossbar once (33′) and the post once (74′).

Hamburg remains third in the table, but is only one point behind Holstein Kiel and two points less than city rivals FC St. Pauli. The hosts, however, failed to pull away from the danger zone and are now only three points ahead of the first relegation zone.
The traditional duel had to be interrupted for a short time when fans threw tennis balls onto the field in protest against the planned DFL investor. That didn’t bother HSV. Hamburg was definitely on the defensive. On offense they only needed two chances. After the break, the hosts tried hard in front of 61,992 spectators in the sold-out stadium, but HSV confidently took the lead over time.
