HSV lose 4-1 in Paderborn
Hamburger SV suffered a 4-1 defeat away to SC Paderborn on Sunday afternoon and therefore lost any chance of promotion this season.
Before Matchday 33, it was clear that HSV needed to avoid defeat in Paderborn in order to stand a chance to be in the promotion play off come the end of the season. However, after a disappointing away defeat HSV confirmed second division status for the coming season. Die Rothosen began the game well, but the hosts made good of their first chance on the counter through Vasiliadis in the 25th minute. Just 20 seconds into the second half Vasiliadis doubled his tally and the Paderborn lead, before Rick van Drongelen pulled one back in the 71st minute. Paderborn’s Antwi-Adjej scored a double within five minutes to ensure his side’s victory (81’, 86’).
The first half was a tight and hard fought affair.

First a blow…
Head coach Hannes Wolf had a setback shortly before kick-off, when his number one Julian Pollersbeck was struck down with illness. Tom Mickel took his place between the sticks. Wolf opted for a back three similar to the one used when HSV defeated Paderborn in the DFB-Pokal quarter final and named David Bates alongside Leo Lacroix and Rick van Drongelen. Douglas Santos played an attacking midfield role behind an attacking pair of Bakery Jatta and Pierre-Michel Lasogga. Hamburg started the game the better of the two sides and almost took the lead, particularly posing a threat from set pieces. Paderborn’s Gjasula cleared Leo Lacroix’s header off the line, before goalkeeper Zingerle turned Rick van Drongelen’s effort round the post. The efforts underlined a strong opening 20 minutes for HSV, but the hosts took the lead through Vasiliadis just five minutes later, a goal which changed the game. Wolf’s men reacted well to the goal and searched for an equaliser, and Khaled Narey had a perfect chance to level the scores but his effort was well saved. After that, neither side was able to build many attacks and much of the play was predominantly in the middle of the pitch, with a lot of individual duels. With not many more goalscoring chances at either end, the first half ended with Paderborn taking a slight advantage into the changing rooms.
Hamburg were unable to create many chances against a resilient Paderborn defence.

… and then the knockout
Paderborn raced into a 2-0 lead just 20 seconds into the second half. Douglas misplaced a backpass to Lacroix and Vasiliadis was able to capitalise before slotting the ball home. After the early second half goal, HSV found it difficult to get back into the game as they were still susceptible to the Paderborn counter attack. Some good work from Tom Mickel ensured the scores were kept at just 2-0, before van Drongelen’s header provided HSV with a lifeline (71’). However as HSV committed themselves to more attacks in search for an equaliser, they were stung twice in quick succession on the counter attack through Antwi-Adjej (81’, 86’). It was a disappointing result and a frustrating afternoon for die Rothosen, as it was confirmed that a direct return to the Bundesliga was now impossible and the good league position at the start of the year was not made use of.

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).
