3:2 - HSV wins northern duel in Kiel

... but deserved winner in the end

After the change of ends, the Kiel sturgeons again started the game with a lot of force, but this time HSV was also wide awake from the start. Defensively, Schonlau & Co. stood firm and hardly allowed anything to go wrong, but basically the Hamburg team kept the game away from their own goal with a much more physical style of play - and up front they did it again with brains. After a sharp corner by substitute Benes, Heyer headed the ball into the net for 2:0.

The Rothosen had achieved the result with which they had won every away game so far this season. But the team could not rest on its laurels, as Kiel continued to try everything to score the goal they so richly deserved in the early stages of the game. But with will, team spirit and the once again very loud support of the travelling fans, the Walter men kept a tight rein at the back and put the lid on the game in front: Once again birthday boy Benes, who gave himself a present for the second time this evening, scored the goal, which Reis scored in a fantastic way by letting three Kiel players get by and then welding the ball in five minutes before the end to make it 3:0. It was the icing on the cake of a - as already described at the beginning - once again clear improvement in performance with which HSV deserved this away victory. The win was dampened twice in injury time when Kiel scored twice more through a Heyer own goal and a David slip-up, but in the end they brought home the three points.
