HSV Supporters Rally Behind Fernandes Despite Mishap
Fans of HSV celebrated their goalkeeper, Daniel Heuer Fernandes, post-derby, despite his misstep that let St. Pauli score their second goal. The fans have witnessed Heuer Fernandes' strong performances for the club since he joined in 2019.
The exuberant goalkeeper acknowledged the fans' ovation from the visitors' block at Millerntor, praising the connection between supporters and the team, the essence of the special club.
This derby might have been Heuer Fernandes' coldest game in a diamond jersey so far. He described his own goal, making it 2-0, as an unfortunate mishap, attributing it to a hasty pass and the ball bouncing off his shot instead of off the line.
HSV's second-half comeback with goals from Robert Glatzel (58') and Immanuel Pherai (60') was joyful for Heuer Fernandes, who emphasized HSV's resilience and team spirit, expressing gratitude for the relentless spirit.
Interestingly, not every HSV goalkeeper has received this graceful response after a blunder in a derby. In 1997, Richard Golz conceded a goal in the 90th minute, which tied the score at 2:2, when he was outnumbered. Fans were merciless in their reaction, displaying "Golz out" posters at numerous HSV games, and ultimately, Golz left for SC Freiburg to seek a new start.
