HSV start 2019 with deserved 2-1 win against SV Sandhausen
Two goals from Pierre-Michel Lasogga sealed all three points in the first match of 2019 for HSV.
HSV opened their 2019 account with a deserved 2-1 victory against SV Sandhausen at the Volksparkstadion. The Rothosen flew out of the blocks in the first half, creating chance after chance in front of 36,564 fans in attendance. Pierre-Michel Lasogga finally found the breakthrough shortly before the break, but the visitors leveled in the 65th from the penalty spot. Lasogga quickly responded with his second of the game just four minutes later, however, to seal a well-earned home victory.

Lasogga breaks the deadlock
HSV head coach Hannes Wolf named Gideon Jung in the starting XI for the first time this season alongside Rick van Drongelen. Captain Aaron Hunt wasn’t quite fit enough to start, hence it was Lewis Holtby, who had the game’s first big chance saved by the SVS keeper Schuhman after ten minutes, who wore the armband in midfield. The Sandhausen shotstopper continued to prove difficult to beat, saving a flurry of HSV chances from both Tatsuya Ito and Khaled Narey. With the visitors pegged back in their own half, Wolf’s men continued to create chance after chance and just as the half seemed destined to end on even terms, Lasogga popped up to score from HSV’s tenth attempt of the half.

Quick response seals win
Die Rothosen didn’t second half with the same tempo as the first and instead looked to play a more patient game by keeping the ball and opponent moving, waiting to pounce on any lapse in concentration. And then, out of nowhere, Sandhausen equalised from the penalty spot (65’). To make matters worse, it was former HSV man Diekmeier who won the spot kick which was then converted by Wooten. Unfazed by the unexpected setback, HSV found the perfect response at the other end when Lasogga thumped a powerful strike past Schuhman to restore HSV’s lead (69’). The forward almost added a third, but his long-range effort rattled the crossbar and out for a goal kick. No hat-trick, but still plenty to cheer about as Die Rothosen saw the game out to start 2019 with an important win. Winter signing Berkay Özcan also enjoyed a HSV debut as a second-half substitute.

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).
