Without his red-locked chief coach Steffen Baumgart, the 1st FC Union Berlin was unable to conquer the Bundesliga returnor Hamburger SV.
The iron had to be satisfied with a 0-0 in the first first division duel between the two clubs and thus missed the jump into the top third of the table. After its second away point, the HSV remains just before the relegation ranks.
In contrast to the stormy 4: 3 at Eintracht Frankfurt, the power storm of the Berliner around Oliver Burke, Ilyas watched and Andrej Ilic largely ineffective this time. Ilic also failed with a penalty on HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes (10th minute).
In injury time, the Hamburg Fabio Vieira saw the red card (90.+8) due to a stretched leg against Leopold across the field.
During the campaign, the Portuguese injured itself and was only able to leave the lawn based on supervisors.
Blocked tree gart in the container
For Union Berlin, it was a game with too many unpleasant topics away from the lawn. Baumgart was not allowed to coach on the edge of the field in Frankfurt after his red card in Frankfurt, he was sitting next to the guest block in a container. His assistant Sebastian Bönig acted almost as passionately as his boss – but always as part of the rules.
Shortly before the kick -off, the iron had also indirectly confirmed that the planned expansion of the stadium on the old forestry, which was sold out with 22,012 spectators, could not be tackled as planned. A few thousands less than the planned 40,500 suddenly stand for the important project.
Fan singers miss the kick-off
What the absence of a few hundred fans can do acoustically can be heard against the HSV in a negative sense. Of all things, the Union singers and their most loyal companions, as well as numerous HSV supporters, had arrived in the stadium too late. The reason is said to have been a police operation in the heart of the capital. It was only 17 minutes after the kick -off that the usual loud support started.
The hardcore fans had missed the penalty of Ilic. The Serbs’ attempt was as weakly shot as Rayan Philippe’s foul had been superfluous to Diogo (9th). With his storm colleagues Burke and I looked at Ilic, Ilic could not swirl like last. The HSV is subjected to the powerful games of the trio.
Hardly any penalty area scenes
Only in the 50th minute had to grab Fernandes again with a shot from Rani Khedira. The Hanseatic players hardly scored the risk of scoring with their switching game. Frederik Rönnow had to be wide awake in the first game after his contract extension during a shot by Jean-Luc Dompé (52nd). Ransford-yeboah Königsdörffer grimaced from a pointed angle (72nd). Union captain Christopher Trimmel circled a corner ball on the outer post (76th).
