The HSV Stomps Back to Bundesliga in a Roaring Comeback
It's a new chapter for the Hamburger SV! After a grueling seven-year stint in the 2. Bundesliga, the legendary club makes a triumphant return to the Bundesliga. A jaw-dropping 6:1 victory over SSV Ulm 1846 made it official.
One goal, hundreds of heartbeats raised, and then... pandemonium! The stadium was hypnotized by the surreal 6:1 thriller, turning it into a sea of black-and-white-blue sweat and elation. Ludovit Reis (10'), Ransford Königsdörffer (42', 62'), Davie Selke (45+4), and Daniel Elfadli (86') ignited a wild night, sending waves of euphoria through the excited crowd of 57,000 fans.
It's been 2555 days since they last competed in the Bundesliga, but the Hamburgers didn't disappoint. A masterclass performance from Coach Merlin Polzin marked the beginning of their breathtaking victory, snuffing out the last vestiges of doubt with an early own goal by Philipp Strompf (49').
Coach Polzin's emotions were palpable: "Seven years we've been waiting, that's unbelievable. The coolest club in Germany is back where it belongs."
The atmosphere was electric, deafening – even before the final whistle, spectators were already embracing one another, the first mayor of Hamburg, Peter Tschentscher, was celebrating alongside, marking an end to the HSV's agonizing time in the lower division. With the defeat, Ulm's relegation to the 3. Liga is confirmed.
Vincent Kompany, Bayern's champion coach and once an HSV player, shouted his congratulations from Munich, "If you've met good people, you wish them luck. Now I can fly to Hamburg twice – that's very good."
Before the game, Polzin, just 34 years old and the 8th trainer to take on the promotion challenge, was optimistic: "We as a team have suffered some really hard setbacks, but we always came back. That gives me a very good feeling and confidence that we can make today's evening a very special evening."
Their triumph was a dramatic testament to the indomitable spirit of the North German football queen. A late-game setback, a penalty saved, and a riveting comeback – this was a season worthy of the HSV's storied legacy.
This season, Hamburg had only one loss in 16 games, showcasing their consistency. They secured promotion with a game to spare, dominating Ulm with a record 6-1 victory[2][3]. Key players like Davie Selke, who scored a league-leading 21 goals, and Jean-Luc Dompé, who provided 12 assists[3], were instrumental in their success.
