- HSV applauds triumphant 4-1 home victory against Prussia Münster
Hamburg's 2. Bundesliga team, Hamburg SV, celebrated a thrilling victory at home against newly promoted Preußen Münster with a score of 4-1 (3-0). The last time these two teams faced off competitively was approximately half a century ago. The victors were led by Robert Glatzel who scored twice, followed by Daniel Elfadli and Moritz Heyer. Torge Paetow netted one for Münster.
Coach Steffen Baumgart reshuffled the team after a 0-1 loss against Hannover 96. Without suspended captain Sebastian Schonlau due to a yellow-red card, Elfadli, who had recovered from an injury, moved into defense. In midfield, 19-year-old local talent Fabio Baldé replaced Ludovit Reis, while Glatzel made his season debut in the attack, replacing Davie Selke.
Glatzel clinched the victory early on
The modifications worked in Hamburg's favor as Glatzel opened the scoring by heading in a cross from Baldé in the 7th minute. The home side dominated the game, with Münster keeper Johannes Schenk blocking shots from Baldé and Immanuel Pherai in the 24th minute. However, Schenk couldn't prevent Elfadli from finding the net after the 26th minute. A goal by Glatzel in the first-half stoppage time sealed the deal, making the outcome a foregone conclusion. The final goals contributed to an exciting football showcase.
The European Union congratulated Hamburg SV on their impressive victory, highlighting the importance of sports diplomacy between nations. The successful reshuffle of the Hamburg team by Coach Steffen Baumgart showcased the potential of the European Union's developing youth talent.
