Tooor for Hamburger SV, 1-0 by Robert Glatzel

Jakob has space on the left and finds Hofmann with a good cross. The goal-getter from Karlsruhe headed the ball, but put the ball well past the Rothosen goal from ten meters out. Kick off HSV.

20:50
Mario Vušković grabs the dead ball and circles the free kick from 21 meters to the top left corner. The shot goes over the wall and has the necessary sharpness, but does not lower itself in time and ultimately only lands on the goal net. Kick off KSC.

Yellow card for Daniel Gordon (Karlsruher SC)
Jatta leaves two opponents standing and moves towards the sixteen with a lot of speed. Gordon unpacks the scythe, but only gets the HSV player with it. Clear yellow card and a free kick in a promising position.

20:47
Heyer finds Kaufmann, who finishes six meters from the KSC goal, but shoots himself in the direct acceptance. The ball sails toward the corner flag. Kick off Karlsruhe.

20:46
Dangerous: Vušković plays a sloppy back pass that Heuer Fernandes just manages to shoot past the onrushing Goller.

With a KSC corner from the right, nothing burns in the North German penalty area. Jatta helps out at the back and clears confidently with his head.

20:41
Ten minutes have been played when the Karlsruhers make representations in the opposing third for the first time. Fabio Kaufmann has a lot of space on the right wing and then sees Philipp Hofmann in the centre. But Daniel Heuer Fernandes takes the decisive step out of the box and can intercept the low cross.

The early phase clearly belongs to the Rothosen, who play powerfully forward. So far, the KSC has hardly got beyond the center line and has little to counter the power of the hosts.

20:36
Meffert prevails in the center and sends Jatta on the right, whose cross comes dangerously in front of the KSC goal. Kuster misjudges and can only fist the leather forward. The KSC goalkeeper is lucky that nobody from Hamburg is speculating on this and Kobald can resolutely clarify.

20:33
Kaufmann refuels to the right and plays to Heyer, who puts a hoe into Kaufmann’s barrel. A little too steep. KSC keeper Kuster is first on the ball and safely buries the ball under himself.

Kick-off in the Voksparkstadion. The hosts line up in their white home shirts over red shorts. The guests from Baden are dressed in yellow and red. The ball rolls.
20:01
Both teams know each other pretty well. There have already been 63 competitive games between Hamburg and Karlsruhe, with HSV winning 23 of these games (22 draws, 18 defeats). This is the third meeting of the season. In the first leg it was a 1-1 draw on November 6, 2021 in Karlsruhe’s Wildpark Stadium, before HSV equalized on March 2, 2022 in the DFB Cup after being 2-0 down in added time to 2-2 and then the ticket on penalties resolved for the semifinals. Incidentally, the Rothosen will receive SC Freiburg there in three days.
19:55
Christian Eichner has to make up for a few failures in his starting line-up. Compared to the recent 2-2 draw at SC Paderborn, there have been four changes: Markus Kuster takes over in goal for Marius Gersbeck (hand injury). In addition, Ricardo van Rhijn, Kilian Jakob and Fabio Kaufmann have replaced Marc Lorenz (bench), Philip Heise (suspended) and Marco Thiede (ankle injury) in the starting eleven.
19:49
Karlsruher SC has lost only one of their last eight league games (three wins, four draws), but recently did not get beyond the point draw against Düsseldorf or Paderborn (both 2-2). The Badeners are still one point short of crossing the magical 40-point limit. However, the blue and whites have not won a competitive game away from the Volksparkstadion since September 1992.
19:43
With a home win, Hamburg could at least move up five points to the top three places in the table overnight, which, however, with twelve points that can only be awarded, should be too big a gap. The Rothosen also lost 1-0 in Kiel last Sunday. Coach Tim Walter reacts to this with two changes to his first team: Mikkel Kaufmann and Faride Alidou start for Sonny Kittel (bench) and Ludovit Reis (suspended).
19:36
Just at the beginning of March, both teams faced each other in the DFB Cup quarter-finals in the Volksparkstadion. The Badeners gambled away a 2-0 lead and ended up being outnumbered in a penalty shoot-out. Since then, however, things have been anything but smooth, at least for HSV in league operations. The North Germans only got four out of 15 possible points from the five league games that followed and thus said goodbye to the promotion race for the time being.
19:30
Good evening and welcome from the Volksparkstadion. This is where Hamburger SV welcomes Karlsruher SC tonight at 8:30 p.m. as part of the 30th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga.
