going into this match, i didn't really expect much. we had a really poor form with a 6 game winless streak. although frankfurt was struggling too, i still didn't really believe we would do anything here. the first half was strong from us, we were able to defend well but we also didn't really use our chances. yet, i was waiting for the first frankfurt and so, it did eventually come. can uzun immediately scored on us not even 5 minutes into the second half and here, i just thought it would be over now. but we showed resistance and were completely able to turn the match around in just 10 minutes. for the rest of the match, our defending was very well, we didn't let frankfurt really do anything. however, the way the frankfurt players were eventually playing made me extremely mad in the last few minutes. they just kept on fouling and fouling so unnecessarily, with frankfurt's kristensen even getting a second yellow in the 12th minute of extra time. however, all of that didn't matter anymore when the final whistle blew because with this, we practically confirmed our spot for the following season in the bundesliga (it would be mathematically confirmed just a day later when freiburg vs wolfsburg ended in a 1-1 draw) two weeks before the season was actually over. this team in our first season back in the bundesliga truly means something to me. they never gave up, kept on pushing and always learned from their mistakes. they are an unforgettable squad. 💙🤍🖤 DER HSV SPIELT WIEDER BUNDESLIGA! 💙🤍🖤
