Hamburg held to a draw on Bundesliga return | OneFootball

More than seven years after their last match in the Bundesliga, Hamburg returned to the top division in Germany on Sunday (24), with a goalless draw against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Until May 12, 2018, Hamburg was the only German club to participate in all editions of the Bundesliga since its creation in 1963, but at the end of the 2018-2019 season, it suffered its first relegation.

It was only last May that the traditional club, European champion in 1983, achieved its long-awaited return to the elite after seven years in the second division.

This Friday, opening the second round of the German championship, HSV hosts St. Pauli at the Volksparkstadion, in the 17th Hamburg city derby, the first since February 16, 2011.
