The Unbelievable Twist in the Hamburg Derby
St. Pauli takes the lead 2-0, thanks to an unforgettable own goal from HSV. Despite being on the brink of defeat, HSV manages an astonishing comeback in just 166 seconds.
The Unforgettable Own Goal
27th minute: In a bizarre turn of events, HSV struggles to maintain possession in their own penalty area. Heuer Fernandes passes the ball to Ambrosius, who then passes it to Ramos. Ramos tries to return the ball to Heuer Fernandes, but the goalkeeper has moved forward anticipating a clearance. As the goalkeeper charges back to prevent a Ramos own goal, he inadvertently strikes the ball under his own crossbar from a mere half-meter away.
What a joke, you say, in a derby of all places. And it's even more humiliating for Heuer Fernandes: Had he not intervened, the ball would likely have gone harmlessly past the goal. For the remainder of the game, Pauli supporters jeered at every move Heuer Fernandes made.
Unsurprisingly, this mishap aligns with HSV's dismal performance in the first half. Despite Irvine scoring the first goal for Pauli after a corner (15th), their defense looked vulnerable, even if the goal should not have counted due to a foul by Mets on Meffert during a corner kick scramble. Offensively, HSV was mere shadow of their former self.
The Spectacular Recovery
After half-time, there was a layer of snow over the field - but HSV seemed to handle it better.
Glatzel (58') scored his 11th goal of the season, followed by Pherai (60') tying the score just 166 seconds later. With this remarkable recovery, HSV not only denied St. Pauli the victory but even turned the tables.
St. Pauli remains at the top of the table, while HSV could potentially fall to third place on Saturday, should Kiel win.
