Lasogga brace and Santos goal send HSV to round of 16 with 3-0 win
A double from Pierre-Michel Lasogga and one from Douglas Santos were enough for HSV to progress to the round of 16 of the DFB Pokal.
HSV are in the last 16 of the DFB Pokal after beating SV Wehen Wiesbaden 3-0 on Tuesday evening. The man of the moment in the sold-out BRITA-Arena was Pierre-Michel Lasogga, who scored HSV’s first two goals. His first goal was a powerful strike from a tight angle and then he scored again in the second half after good link-up play between Lewis Holtby and Fiete Arp. Douglas Santos added a third deep into injury time. The home side also had a few chances as they hit the woodwork twice, while Pollersbeck was also called upon, however the win was deserved for Die Rothosen.
Pierre-Michel Lasogga put HSV on the road to victory with his brace.
Lasogga with the brace…
HSV coach Hannes Wolf only made one change from the win against Magdeburg as the injured Hwang made way for Arp, who played on the left flank. The line up was very attack orientated and this showed on the pitch as the away side were the dominant team during the beginning of the match. The dominance showed in the 20th minute when Lasogga hammered home a powerful strike which went underneath goalkeeper Kolke. The goalkeeper could have done more but the HSV fans did not care as the goal was more than deserved. HSV dominated the opening 30 minutes, but the third-tier side looked dangerous from set-pieces. Midfielder Titsch-Rivero , a former Eintracht Frankfurt player, came close for the hosts. Pollersbeck was called into action to deny a header from Rivero, nevertheless HSV went into the break with a 1-0 lead.
A rare moment for Douglas Santos as he celebrates his goal in added time to make it 3-0
…and Santos seals the win
HSV took control of the game at the beginning of the second half. The visitors knocked the ball about well and started to find space in midfield. Then came the second goal. Holtby found Arp at the back post with a great lofted ball, before the teenager headed it back across goal to Lasogga who fired into the roof of the net. From here on in, HSV looked like they were not going to be caught and had one foot in the round of 16. Wehen Wiesbaden did have their chances to pull one back, as Kyereh hit the bar with a header, which would have set up an interesting finale. Wolf’s team maintained their advantage until the end but the home side continued to look threatening from set pieces. There were eight minutes of added time, due to the interruption of flares in the away section, and in this time the home side hit the woodwork again, however the result was in no doubt. The visitors put the nail in the coffin as Santos scored a third and sent HSV on their way to the round of 16.

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).
