HSV Hamburg, fresh from their return to the Bundesliga following a seven-year absence, displayed a determined effort in their performance.Top scorers for the match were Eisenach's Marko Grgic and Hamburg's Frederik Bo Andersen, tallying nine goals each.
The match saw Hamburg's aggressive defense leave ThSV coach Misha Kaufmann with a dilemma, as at times, he chose to station four players for an offensive attack up to the midline, leaving the center back position unoccupied.
Eisenach's playing style caused some initial trouble for Hamburg, who struggled to score from the 12th to the 21st minute. The hosts enjoyed a brief lead, but their goalkeeper Matija Spikic, together with Hamburg's Mohamed El-Tayar, made impressive saves to keep the game close.
As the game progressed, Hamburg enhanced their play by stationing an additional outfield player instead of their goalkeeper. This change allowed them to gradually build a lead, which they managed to maintain until the final whistle.
