1:0 - HSV wins home match against Heidenheim

Glatzel's goal of the day...

HSV coach Tim Walter changed his starting eleven for Matchday 3 on one position compared to Matchday 2 and put Rohr in place of Benes on the eight position, where the midfielder was responsible for some clever passes to the front, especially at the beginning of the match. Above all, however, his tackling skills were in demand, because the Heidenheim team - which had started the new season with three victories in competitive matches - presented itself in the Volkspark with a lot of bite and grip right from the start.

They didn't manage to play too much forward, but the visitors were very physical and tried to disrupt HSV's flow of play. However, this was only successful at times, because the Reds managed to play dangerously in front of the Heidenheim goal again and again - and then bring top goal scorer Glatzel into position. But he was unlucky at the start and missed the lead three times from promising positions: first with a close header, then he slipped past a Königsdörffer pass and finally put the ball next to the right post from ten metres (18th, 25th, 35th). But Glatzel kept at it and rewarded himself and his team shortly before the break when he completed the next good HSV attack and headed a Muheim cross into the far corner for a deserved 1:0 break lead for HSV - also due to 58 percent possession and 61 percent of won duels.
