With the first second division victory in April, Hamburger SV ended its negative series and at least preserved the small chance of a return to the Bundesliga. After five games without a threesome, HSV won 4-0 (2-0) in a one-sided catch-up game on Tuesday (April 5th, 2022) against the second-bottom Erzgebirge Aue, who has less and less hope.
Robert Glatzel (14th), Sonny Kittel (45th + 1), Moritz Heyer (75th) and Ludovit Reis (83rd) scored in front of 21,890 spectators for Hamburg, who advanced to sixth place in the table. The gap to Darmstadt 98 on the last direct promotion place is six points, just like to city rivals FC St. Pauli on the relegation rank. Aue is twelve points away from the saving bank.
