For 52 seasons, only one team Bundesliga He played in the top division all the time: Hamburger SV. In the event that any of the players forgot about it, just look at the special clock set for Imtech Arena. For the second year in a row really came close to that, to time Bundesliga HSV finally stopped.

HSV could just as well say goodbye to the Bundesliga after the season. Before the last round of Schalke needed a victory, and this had to keep our fingers crossed for Hannover. We managed to meet both of these conditions and players Labadii escaped sudden death, as in the previous season. After no more than a year earlier also saved the skin only in the play-offs.

Draw 1: 1 in the first match Hamburg HSV significantly moving away from subsistence. In the rematch they did not look better. Guests hurled from the beginning, but they were so helpless as the entire Bundesliga season. In the 26th minute he had a chance to Rafael van der Vaart, but scored the statistics. Similarly, in 39 minutes, Pierre-Michel Lasogga, whose head struck Dirk Orlishausen of defending with his eyes closed.

Pushed on the defensive hosts were limited to counter-attack. The nearest luck was Daniel Gordon, when in first half injury time, just after a cross from the free kick, firing in from an acute angle, but also on the goal.

On the court maintained the status quo, including the possession that HSV had sometimes twice as large. As many as came 78 minutes. Rouwen Hennings in the style of Leo Messi hit the ball over the defenders HSV, and Reinhold Yabo shot between his legs gave the home team the first lead.

In fact, the goal did not change anything – a goalless draw urządzał hosts and guests and so needed at least one hit into the net.

changed, however, and it totally, the game HSV. Only when the specter of decline began to look them in the eye more than ever, seriously they took to work. He gave the signal to attack Pierre-Michel Lasogga, who had two minutes after no goal had two great situations. First, a simple feint lost his marker and tried on technically outside the box. Dirk Orlishausen intervened bad, but the ball did not fall into the net. It had been a second, and the ball shot Lasoggi stopped at the post. Not yet subsided HSV fans groan, and Dennis Diekmeier, who used to dispatch of five meters, did not hit the ball.

The second, and even third life this season Hamburger got in the 90th minute. From the first to the last minute of the second play-off HSV was in the 2nd Bundesliga, but changed in stoppage time, after the dinosaurs were given a free kick 18 meters from goal. The judge found that one of the players Karlsruher blocked the ball with his hand, but the hosts defended that intuitively intervened and he had no way to hide the elbow. HSV throughout the season did not have scored a goal from the free kick, but the heavens that night were from Hamburg. In the first of four minutes to pick provisioning charge came Marcelo Diaz and tried on that KSC goalie just walked past the eyes.

During the break before extra time the judge had some explaining to players of KSC with a controversial decision, and stands farewell three judges terrifying whistling.

With this shock in Karsluhe no longer had recovered completely. The extra cards handed out guests again. Hamburger in the Bundesliga rescued 115 minutes substitutes. Into the net from close hit Nicolai Mueller, closing Cleber action.

In the last minute the hosts, who needed two goals, they got a penalty after yet equally dubious hands of Johan Djourou. KSC needed two goals, so the unused eleven Hennings did not matter, but it’s hard not to resist the impression that the judge wanted to silence the remorse after the controversy of 90 minutes. The controversy on the importance of maintaining a miraculous HSV in the Bundesliga.
