The guests pushed for a quick equalizer – the Kielers repeatedly constricted their own penalty area. Glatzel missed a header on goal with a big chance (30′), Jatta also missed the target (32′) and Glatzel’s shot was blocked (33′). The “Storks”, who only had one chance, selflessly defended their narrow lead at the break.
“Life insurance” Glatzel leaves 1:1
After the change of sides, however, the home side quickly found themselves under pressure from HSV again. And Glatzel should have equalized in the 54th minute at the latest, but keeper Dähne made a quick-witted save. Most recently, the 17-goal man was Hamburg’s life insurance, but this time he shot one ticket after the other.
The big chance was a wake-up call for the home side, who repeatedly managed to calm things down with possession of the ball. Hamburg was running out of time, coach Walter brought some fresh attacking forces at the beginning of the final phase. But he couldn’t revive the momentum of the first half. The HSV final offensive, which has often been seen, also failed to materialize. The victory of Schleswig-Holstein was no longer in danger – and the “Kiel curse” should have ended Hamburg’s promotion dreams five games before the end of the season.
