After an extremely difficult start to the season, Hamburger SV managed to bounce back with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over 1. FC Köln in their own Volkspark Stadium. While coach Merlin Polzin only a week ago enthusiastically emphasized that his team was 'making progress' despite painful figures, that hope has now finally been tangibly translated into points - the very first in this new Bundesliga campaign, and also the first goals of the season.
This victory came at a particularly relevant time for Polzin. Under his leadership, HSV has suffered heavy defeats so far, including twice 5-0, and had conceded no fewer than twelve goals in three matches without scoring themselves. Nevertheless, the club management decided on Friday to reward the young head coach and his staff with contract extensions - a signal of confidence that was immediately underlined on Saturday.
However, the opening phase of the match showed little improvement. 1. FC Köln dominated possession and were often dangerous, with goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes keeping his team on their feet. Shortly before half-time, however, the redeeming moment occurred: after preparatory work by Albert Sambi Lokonga and David Møller Wolfe, HSV scored a corner kick, after which Albert Grønbæk delivered the ball perfectly to the head of Nicolas Capaldo, who opened the scoring. That goal changed the atmosphere, both on the field and in the stands.
After the break, HSV's self-confidence had visibly grown. Within five minutes of the restart, Yussuf Poulsen doubled the lead, immediately after a tactical intervention by Polzin that brought him ahead of Terem Moffi. Köln threw everything into the attack and scored through Ragnar Ache in the final phase, but HSV's defense held firm.
Afterwards, sports board member Kathleen Krüger emphasized that confidence in Polzin does not depend on incidental results, but on a broaderevaluation since his appointment. Polzin himself spoke highly of the support from the public and the positive cooperation on and off the field: "It is important to continue working together in good and bad times. With this victory we show that we can climb out of a deep valley."
For HSV, this victory is a huge boost towards the upcoming international break and convincing proof that sticking to one's own process ultimately pays off.
What's happening now
With this victory, Hamburger SV can focus on the next matches in the Bundesliga, where they can hopefully continue. The focus will be on improving the defensive organization as they have conceded 12 goals so far. It is now up to Polzin to find the right balance and motivate his players for the challenges ahead.
