HSV smashes Düsseldorf and conquers the top of the table!

The Hamburger SV impressively prevailed against Fortuna Düsseldorf in the top game of the 2nd Bundesliga and won the game 4: 1 (2: 1). This game took place on March 8, 2025 in the sold -out folk park stadium in front of 57,000 spectators and secured the HSV return to the top of the table, such as t-online.de reported.

The HSV had already opened the game in the 7th minute with a precise long -range shot by Miro Muheim. Despite the early deficit, Düsseldorf in the 18th minute managed to equalize through Dawid Kownacki. However, the HSV did not let this be disturbed and took the lead again in the 39th minute through a header from Davie Selke. In the second half, the HSV not only increased a dominant performance and not only increased to 3: 1 in the 66th minute, but also benefited from an unfortunate own goal of the Düsseldorf goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier. Otto Stange set the final point to the 4: 1 final score in added time.

game course and statistics

The first half clearly belonged to Hamburger SV, who had over 70 percent possession and Düsseldorf hardly let into play. In contrast, Düsseldorf was able to score with her first shot after the equalization, but quickly had to recognize that the HSV remained offensive. Again and again the Hamburgers remained dangerous and missed expanding the lead at an early stage. With a point ahead of 1. FC Köln, the HSV stays on course towards the ascent, while Düsseldorf remains five points behind third place after the second defeat.

This clear defeat is all the more remarkable because it was the first under head coach Merlin Polzin, just six days after the first defeat in his coaching career. In this game, two old acquaintances met: Polzin against his sponsor Daniel Thioune.
