6-0! HSV suffer heavy defeat in Munich
HSV went behind in only the 8th minute against Bayern Munich. Lewandowski (12’, 19’, 90’), Robben (55’) and two goals from Ribéry (8’, 81’) gave the record champions the win.
The Rothosen lost 6-0 on Saturday (10th March) afternoon in a sold-out Allianz Arena. The record champions took the lead in only the eighth minute through Franck Ribéry, which paved the path to victory for FC Bayern. Robert Lewandowski (12’, 19’, 90’ pen.), Arjen Robben (55’) and a brace from Ribéry (8’, 81’) determined the result in favour of the table toppers.
The start of the end: Ribéry rounds HSV keeper Mathenia and pokes the ball home to give Munich an early lead.
Early deficit…
Bernd Hollerbach sent out a starting formation with three at the back, a tiered midfield and three up front to take on the record champions. However, the front three barely saw the ball and the compact formation saw Ribéry penetrate early on (8’). HSV were unable to get a grip on the match and Bayern had no trouble pushing forwards and Lewandowski’s first two goals effectively ended the game. The score stood at 3-0 for the hosts after only 20 minutes and Hollerbach made his first change early on to change to four at the back. This gave the team more stability and, at least until the half-time whistle, no more goals were scored.
Douglas Santos played the whole match at the back, but provided HSV’s only shot of the game.
… and Bayern kept pushing
After the change of ends, Bayern noticeably took the intensity down a gear, while HSV’s time to score a consolation goal narrowed. Not much went on up front for the Rothosen and only two small opportunities arose in the second 45 minutes. Bayern, on the other hand, were able to score a fourth, during a spell which felt like the pits of despair for Hamburg: a shot hit the post, two penalties were awarded to Bayern and a dominant 6-0 victory for Bayern was the result as the HSV defence just could not keep the FC Bayern forwards out of the final third. 21-1 was the number of shots each side had before the final whistle. The only highlight for HSV was the Bundesliga debut for 17-year-old Vagnoman. The young HSV talent became the next player born in this century to make a Bundesliga appearance.

No show from HSV
HSV head coach Markus Gisdol was forced into changing his team ahead of the trip south. Long term injured first choice keeper Adler was still recovering from a broken rib before his understudy Mathenia also got injured and was ruled out of the matchday 31 encounter. Up stepped under-21 stopper Mikel to the fray. Key winger Kostic who scored the only goal of the game between the two sides on matchday 14 was suspended so his place went to Austrian Gregoritsch. Ostrzolek got the nod at left back ahead of Douglas Santos while Walace replaced Jung in defensive midfield. Gisdol made four changes in all to the side which lost 1-2 at home to relegation certainties Darmstadt last time out. The new-look formation struggled early on. Augsburg created three top scoring opportunities within the opening 20 minutes. New keeper Mikel managed to keep out efforts by Kohr and Schmid and was grateful to be able to watch a Stafylidis free kick fizz narrowly wide of target. On 22 minutes the visitors were in luck again as an Altintop effort struck the left hand post with Mikel beaten. It seemed to the capacity crowd including yet another sold out contingent of travelling HSV faithful that it weould only be a matter of time before the home side would break the deadlock and they did as Altintop rounded off two counter attacks on 28 and 41 minutes to make the halftime score 2-0 to Augsburg. Mickel was powerless on both occasions and was HSV’s best man before the break.
Deserved defeat
Lasogga came on for Gregoritsch and Jung replaced Walace at the start of the second half as Gisdol opted for a two-pronged attack. Later Jatta replaced Ostrzolek. The ploy simply didn’t work as the Rothosen had more of the ball than in the previous half but were completely harmless in front of goal. Augsburg played a much more intelligent game and struck the woodwork again through Baier. That superior intelligence was underlined late on as Augsburg struck twice through Max and substitute Bobadilla (76., 85.). It was game over for HSV who failed to threaten until the 84th minute for Lasogga and Wood to miss chances. It was simply not good enough and the Rothosen remain just one point above the relegation play off spot in the table. Matchday 22 sees Gisdol and Co. host Mainz who are level on points but two places better due to a superior goal difference. Only a win will do as the teams lock horns at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg next Sunday (07.05.17, 3.30 PM).
