HSV suffer tough 2-1 defeat in Regensburg
Hamburger SV were beaten 2-1 by SSV Jahn Regensburg on Sunday. Die Rothosen finished the game with nine men, after Orel Mangala and Vasiljie Janjicic picked up second-half red cards.
HSV fell to defeat at the hands of SSV Jahn Regensburg in Matchday 23. Die Rothosen opened the scoring in the 16th minute through centre-back David Bates’ first goal of the season, and had two good chances to increase the lead further but were unable to capitalise. Orel Mangala’s 69th minute dismissal for a second bookable offence was shortly followed by a Regensburg equaliser thanks to a strike from Adamyan (74’). The home side completed the turnaround and took the lead through Grüttner only minutes later (81’). Things went from bad to worse for Die Rothosen when Janjicic was awarded a straight red card for a professional foul in the 92nd minute.

An early lead...
Head coach Hannes Wolf made two changes to the side that drew 2-2 in Heidenheim. First team regulars Sakai and Douglas returned to the side from suspension and injury respectively. Left back Douglas had an instant impact – the Brazilian’s dangerous free-kick wasn’t properly dealt with by the home side and centre-back Bates found space to finish from close range. The goal - Bates’ first of the season - marked a deserved lead for the visitors. HSV were hunting for a second, the pace of wingers Jatta and Hwang a constant threat. It was the latter who created a great chance to double the lead, but striker Lasogga was unable to find the target in the 30th minute, meaning HSV took a narrow lead into half-time.
The red card for Vasilije Janjicic was the negative climax in this disappointing game.

... and a tough ending
The second half told a different story to the first. Jahn Regensburg increased pressure higher up the field, and the momentum swung in their favour following Orel Mangala’s dismissal for handball in the 69th minute. As a result, the HSV defence were put under increasingly more pressure and the equaliser came soon after in the 74th minute. Adamyan, who scored a hat-trick in the reverse fixture, put his side level and the home fans found their voice. With the bit between their teeth and a man advantage, Regensburg began to control the game inside the HSV half. In the 81st minute Grüttner made the advantage count, as Regensburg took the lead for the first time. The hosts continued in search of goals and almost found a third, but the only other key incident was a second red card for Die Rothosen, as referee Zwayer gave substitute Janjicic his marching orders for a professional foul in the 92nd minute, ensuring a frustrating day all round.

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).
