Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for SC Verl to score. At the same time, Hamburger SV does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' 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 Joshua Eze suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' It is a cagey affair so far. SC Verl in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Hamburger SV's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both SC Verl and Hamburger SV are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 40' Albert Gronbaek Erlykke adds to his 2 season tally! Hamburger SV lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 41' Magnificent from Albert Gronbaek Erlykke! That is 7 goals in 5 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 46' GOAL! Albert Gronbaek Erlykke fires home to make it 0-3!
  • 47' A moment of madness from Albert Gronbaek Erlykke on 47 minutes earns him a card. Hamburger SV will be frustrated.
  • 50' Magnificent from Louis Lemke! That is 1 goals in 273 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 55' Andre Leipold has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

  • 74' Timo Schlieck is a natural goalkeeper and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Verl tonight.
