Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Volksparkstadion will turn into a battlefield for Hamburger SV and SC Freiburg.
- 5' SC Freiburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Otto Stange has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 36 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 14' What a strike from Bakery Jatta! The score is 1-0.
- 16' What an equalizer from Igor Matanovic!
- 20' The referee shows SC Freiburg player a card on 20.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jan-Niklas Beste, as he is very good at scoring at Volksparkstadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' Hamburger SV seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 40' It’s high time Merlin Polzin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Albert Gronbaek Erlykke suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' It looks surprising SC Freiburg does not make any changes. Johan Manzambi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 72' Nicolas Capaldo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 77' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 82' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vincenzo Grifo made 406 appearances and scored 76 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 86' Nicolas Capaldo is having his name booked by the referee on 86.
- 87' Goal! Igor Matanovic scores his 19 goal in 272 matches.
