The drama in the relegation increases. Scored points on Saturday already some relegation candidates, the Hamburger SV tickets on Sunday mixed over again. 2: 1 won the Hanseaten at FSV Mainz and shot on 14th high. But the distance from the penultimate rank is only one point.
The 31 Matchday looked like a compressor. He condensed the action at an extremely explosive mixture: rebellious outsider tottering giant, tragic defeats and surprising victories have put the last conflict of the League under power. HSV, Hannover, Paderborn, Freiburg and Stuttgart struggle for survival – and each of these clubs experienced over the weekend his personal drama
The HSV was allowed to watch on Saturday, as the competition was struggling. On the flash table the hamburgers were danced up and down with no fault of their own like a cork on the Elbe. As then a day later their game kicked off in Mainz, was clear: The victory of the previous week against Augsburg was a matter of survival, as 17 they went to the game. The pressure? Immensely.
Soto shock overshadowed game in Mainz
That was noted the team of Bruno Labbadia. The hosts made the game and were unlucky when a sharp cross from Jairo HSV goalkeeper René Adler was briefly clapped into the center, but there is no Mainzer was ready for dusting. And when Julian Baumgartlinger withdrew courageously after 18 minutes, it was again Adler, who had their hands on the ball decisively.
Then faded all rivalry. 30 minutes into the Mainzer Elkin Soto wanted to shoot, Hamburg captain Rafael van der Vaart was in the way, and the leg of the FSV-midfielder twisted so badly that he had to be carried from the field with pain face. Soto tore the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial collateral ligament. Also, the meniscus was affected. “I am a long time here, but I have never seen such a knee. Everything that happened after that in the game, did not matter,” the visibly battered Mainz manager Christian Heidel said later.
The injury should not have been the last shock for Mainz. Barely five minutes it was the poor Soto from the field, as Heiko Westermann wanted to send a cross in the Mainz box Baumgartlinger held his head in the trajectory, in a high arc flew the ball into the top left corner, beyond the reach of goalkeeper Loris Karius (37th). An own goal at the right time for the Hanseaten hitherto moderate occurring.
Hanover Sane and his goal of the month
At halftime in Mainz a quick look back to Hanover. The Lower Saxony had lost his nerve two weeks ago and put coach Tayfun Korkut out the door. His successor Michael Frontzeck was described by contemporaries as a benevolent B solution, others found after the opening defeat of the new practice guide against Hoffenheim significantly unfreundlichere words at the latest. And when on Saturday the country’s Derby against VfL Wolfsburg after the first half 0: 2 was, the New coach effect seemed to be finally fizzles
But forces are kindled in Table floor sometimes, which nobody expected. Hannover shortened shortly after the interval to 1: 2 – and then came a little miracle. At least Salif Sane was hitherto not known for artistry, the Senegalese converts as defender otherwise rather on the rustic path.
But against Wolfsburg he suddenly drechselte the ball bicycle kick into the left corner – predicate” goal of the month “. “I will not be dreading the last three games. The league is hard, after this performance but doable,” said Frontzeck given the point profit. Bremen, Augsburg and Freiburg are the next opponents of the Hanoverians. “That was real relegation battle, and you can see how the guys that take,” said sporting director Dirk Dufner.
Kacar makes victory perfectly
the HSV also adopted in Mainz in the first half the battle. Almost strategically it had after the change, as they let go of Mainz and then tried to counter. Pierre-Michael Lasogga so entered into a rapid intervention 68 minutes from tough, Karius had follow up. On the other side suddenly had Ja-Cheol Koo left free rein, but Adler deflected the ball to the post (69)..
The pressure of Mainz increased. Suddenly Jairo slipped right through his cross was Pablo de Blasis nice happen, because Yunus Malli stood behind him and shot from close range a (76th). But that Labbadia taught the HSV morale, the team has already demonstrated in the past week
This time again:. Three minutes from time were the guests awarded second corner of the game. The flipperte out from the goal where Gojko Kacar from Johan Djourou was free and locked from 18 meters hit into the right corner. Mainz Daniel Brosinski saw a Allerweltsfoul which was considered as an emergency, nor the red card (90)..
Paderborn “Big Point”
The HSV was crowned by 2: 1 for the second big winners of the weekend. The first came from Paderborn. Actually the swan songs were already written on the East Westphalia. Continuously the climber had slipped to a formidable first round down; to where the club by normal standards also belongs to the smallest league budget.
But on the team coached by Andre Breitenreiter are traditionally nothing. No chance? We use the motto. As against Freiburg. The Breisgauer search since beginning of the season the way out of the basement and seemed finally on the right track. Even against Paderborn they took the lead. But what does that mean
Giving up does not apply to riders width, and so turned his team the game and won 2:?. 1 “Now everyone thinks it again. The tingling and the greed are back,” said midfielder Moritz Stoppelkamp. Although the victory was only the first step, added his coach, but: “We had each written off, but we are aware of our own strength.”
Wolfsburg, Schalke and Stuttgart are the opponents last season Paderborn – not easy. Freiburg gets it done with the HSV, Bayern Munich and Hannover. “I have to watch that now I shall raise my team again,” said SC coach Christian Streich. Only one point from games against Mainz, Stuttgart and Paderborn which has sorely added his players.
Stevens offers his chair at
Remains of the VfB Stuttgart. As with all other competitors also the Swabians winds in almost unbearable torment. Victories against Frankfurt and Bremen they left the relegation dream, then playful VfB against the groups a. 2: 0 lead against SC Freiburg
And the defeat against Schalke on Saturday was hardly calculated to raise the moral level again. While Stuttgart led meantime 2: 1. But two capitals Abwehrpatzer and an own goal ultimately led to 2: 3 and the crash on the bottom of the table
Disappointment culminated in coach Huub Stevens indirectly. offered his chair: “If the club thinks, another can do better, then he has to make the decision, but I will fight every day..”
