Just a day after the cup duel in Pirmasens, HSV played a short-notice friendly match. Against SC Weiche Flensburg 08, the Red Shorts won 2:1.
Less than 24 hours after the DFB Cup appearance at FK Pirmasens, Hamburger SV played a friendly match on their own training ground in Volkspark on Sunday afternoon. The team celebrated a narrow 2:1 victory over the regional league team SC Weiche Flensburg 08. Head coach Merlin Polzin mainly relied on players from the second row and talents who used their playing minutes to show themselves.
The first half was limited to 30 minutes, where the long-term injured Noah Katterbach provided the first highlight of the match shortly before the half-time whistle: The left-back shot from the edge of the penalty area and scored with a powerful left-footed shot to take a 1:0 lead (29.).
After the break, Polzin continued to make cheerful changes. Among others, the youngster Shafiq Nandja, who is courted by FC Turin, came into the game. And another talent was able to advertise himself: After a precise corner from William Mikelbrencis, Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit made it 2:0 (38.).
However, the guests from Flensburg did not let themselves be shaken off and scored the 1:2 consolation goal in the 52nd minute through Theo Behrmann. But HSV did not allow more in the final minutes. After the hard-fought cup success in Pirmasens, the Red Shorts can therefore enjoy their second 2:1 victory this weekend.
For the Hamburgers, it was the last benchmark before the Bundesliga start at Borussia Mönchengladbach next Sunday. So only a few units remain for the coaching team to prepare their team for the duel with the Foals!
