Bundesliga 2 - HSV coach Walter celebrates a lucky win in Nuremberg
The counted-out coach Tim Walter celebrated a lucky 2:0 (0:0) with Hamburger SV at 1. FC Nürnberg at the end of the first half of the 2nd Bundesliga season. HSV won on Saturday thanks to two late goals against 1. FC Nürnberg, who failed to finish and were unlucky on several occasions. Walter threw his arms up in the air when his team scored both goals and cheered loudly on the sidelines.
Goalscorer Robert Glatzel scored in the 80th minute in front of 41,276 spectators for HSV, who go into the short winter break in third place in the table with 31 points. Substitute Jean-Luc Dompé increased the lead deep into stoppage time (90.+7). FCN (24 points) missed out on a successful end to the year after hitting a total of three posts or crossbars.
After the start of the match was marked by fan protests against the DFL's investor deal, a wild game developed with numerous mistakes and plenty of chances to score. HSV's top scorer Glatzel first failed to hit the ball in the best position (19th minute). Shortly afterwards, Benjamin Goller ran alone towards the HSV goal but was caught and stopped (20'). Johannes Geis missed the 1:0 for the "Club" with a shot at the post (27').
Against HSV, who were extremely vulnerable defensively, Nuremberg should have taken the lead after the break at the latest. Within a few seconds, Daichi Hayashi hit the crossbar and HSV defender William Mikelbrencis headed the rebound against his own post (57'). At the other end, Geis blocked a shot from Glatzel at the highest level (66'). The attacker then used his third great finish to score the decisive goal.
