Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Hamburger SV is hosting SC Freiburg for another epic battle.
- 5' 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.
- 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Luka Vuskovic made 134 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 14' Bakery Jatta puts Hamburger SV on the lead.
- 16' What a strike from Igor Matanovic! The score is 1-1.
- 20' Lukas Kubler was booked on 20.
- 25' 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 Nicolas Capaldo suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Hamburger SV needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Hamburger SV is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' SC Freiburg looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Igor Matanovic scoring 2 goals.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Freiburg that had 493 games and scored 469 goals.
- 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ifechukwu Ogbus, as he is very good at scoring at Volksparkstadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 55' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 60' Hamburger SV started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
