HSV thumped 5-0 at home by Jahn Regensburg
Hamburger SV lost 5-0 on Matchday 6 of the 2. Bundesliga against SSV Jahn Regensburg. Adamyan scored a first half hat trick, with Correia and George adding two further goals in the second period.
On Sunday afternoon Hamburger SV suffered a 5-0 home defeat to SSV Jahn Regensburg, having been 3-0 behind at half time. HSV committed too many defensive errors in the opening stages and Regensburg were clinical at the same time. A hat trick from Adamyan left HSV 3-0 behind at the break. The hosts weren’t able to improve in the second half and then conceded two further goals; Correia and George the scorers.
The guests from Regensburg were better in all facets of the game and remained cool in front of goal.
A first half to forget...
Head coach Christian Titz had already stressed in his press conference on Friday that he would be rotating his side and he did just that, making six changes from the away win at Dynamo Dresden. Lacroix, Steinmann, Mangala, Hwang, Holtby and Ito came into the side for Bates, Janjicic, Moritz, Vagnoman, Narey and Lasogga. The changes made to the HSV side were noticeable at the beginning of the game, with a number of individual errors being made. Regensburg managed to punish one finally in the 11th minute, as Julian Pollersbeck lost the ball on the edge of his box to SSV striker Sargis Adamyan, who then stroked the ball into an empty net to give the guests the lead. Regensburg were clever and effective going forward, something evident in their second goal. Andreas Geipl played a clever ball through to Adamyan who buried his second chance. His right-footed shot was slightly deflected by Lacroix and thus left Pollersbeck with no chance. HSV came back into the game and created some real openings for themselves, albeit with no end reward. The away side were then able to pop up and score a third after 35 minutes, Adamyan again remaining ice-cold in front of goal. To make matters worse, HSV skipper Aaron Hunt then missed a penalty in the 40th minute, having won it himself. Overall the first half couldn’t have gone away worse for Die Rothosen and Regensburg’s lead was ultimately well deserved.
... and an equally poor second half
After the change of ends HSV showed their willingness to try and put things right. But it was again Jahn who scored the next goal. Marcel Correia volleyed home a Geipl free kick after 53 minutes, making it clear that it wasn’t going to be Hamburg’s day. The home side couldn’t find a way through and were constantly caught on the break by Regensburg. The final goal then came through Jann George 15 minutes before the end, making it a very heavy and painful home defeat for HSV. The next game is on Thursday at SpVgg Greuther Fürth (20:30 CEST), where HSV will be hoping to get back to winning ways.

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).
