Consolation brace
Selke taps in on the rebound after Baldé's shot crashed against the upright. If only he'd been on the pitch earlier...

One-two!
Philippe stays cool this time, converting at the end of an incisive counter. Surely no way back for Hamburg now?!

Big chance!
Bell Bell shoots from the left, forcing Heuer Fernandes to parry. Philippe is only four yards out, but is caught in two minds an opts to knock it back across goal instead of take aim himself.
78'
Selke on the hunt
The HSV goalscorer tests Hoffmann's reflexes with only his second attempt since coming on. If the Red Shorts are to score again, he's their most likely candidate...
74'
Instant impact!
Selke doesn't need long, the HSV sub rising highest to head in Dompé's back-post cross. Game on!

No way through
That triple substitution has yet to bear fruit for Polzin's charges. Braunschweig just won't allow them to play.

Frustrations on show
Elfadli gets a ticking off after catching Hoffmann a touch late. HSV need to hold their nerve if they're to turn this around...

Another card
Jaeckel fouls Immanuël Pherai, becoming the third Braunschweig to go into the referee's notebook.
Ding-dong!

Braunschweig break with Philippe, who arrows a fierce effort against the woodwork from just inside the HSV area. That could have been curtains for the leaders.

Half-time: Hamburg 0-2 Braunschweig
What a turn-up for the books. Eintracht, fighting to stay afloat, have a deserved 2-0 lead over first-placed Hamburg. They've been superb across the pitch and taken their chances when they've come, even if there was a massive slice of luck for the second goal. HSV have it all to do...

Yellow card for Köhler
Köhler crashes into his opponent in midfield, resulting in the first booking of the match.

Quick-fire double!
Braunschweig are on Dream Street! Jaeckel's attempted cross takes a wicked deflection off Hefti and loops into the back of the HSV net. What a twist in the tale this could be at both ends of the table.
40'
There is now!
Rittmüller gets the ball on the right and sends Philippe down the flank. He delivers a dream cross, which Bell Bell controls with his left foot and fires past Heuer Fernandes with his right!

Dompé!
The winger has been HSV's best outlet so far. Once again he cuts inside, his deflected shot dipping dangerously but flying wide. The ensuing corner comes to nothing.
22'
Nothing between them
It's been an evenly matched game so far. Eintracht are having a really good go at HSV, but the home defence is standing firm. No clear-cut chances at either end...
19'
No joy
Rittmüller's deflected shot precedes a series of corners, each dealt with by the HSV rearguard.
14'
Hamburg knocking
Karabec has a shot blocked, before Richter miscues a cross-shot and sends the play out of play.

Brave visitors
For a team fighting to stay up, Braunschweig are playing with remarkable confidence. They're certainly not hiding away from the league leaders.

A Philippe for Eintracht
Philippe means business as he cuts in and shoots over from 20 yards.
4'
End to end
Braunschweig go forward this time, but Philippe's final ball is lacking. The home side break, with Sahiti's cross landing in the arms of Hoffmann.
2'
Dompé warning shot
HSV attack with Jean-Luc Dompé, who hit a brace in Nuremberg last weekend. He takes aim from the right-hand side, but it's a fairly routine save for Hoffmann.

Looking up
The visitors, on the other hand, could vacate 16th place for the first time since Matchday 22 if they earn a point. And that's where they'll stay, if Münster lose to Karlsruhe on Sunday.
Nine points ahead overnight?
The competition from Magdeburg, Kaiserslautern or Paderborn only play on Saturday and Sunday. With a victory, HSV could extend their lead over the dreaded relegation play-off spot to nine points, at least until tomorrow.
Two captains - one milestone
Hamburg's captain Schonlau and his counterpart Nikolaou stand on opposite sides of the coin toss, but today they share a special moment, as for both, it's their 100th game in the Bundesliga 2 for their respective clubs.
More on that Braunschweig side
The visitors recently celebrated an important 3-2 victory over Paderborn, with three substitutes that game who contributed significantly to the win now in the starting line-up. Philippe, Bell Bell and Marie start in place of Kaufmann, Polter and Ba.
Hamburg team news
In comparison to their 3-0 victory in Nuremberg, HSV make three changes. Hefti, Richter and Selke start in place of Muheim, Reis and Königsdörffer.
Braunschweig starting XI
Hoffmann - Jaeckel, Köhler, Nikolaou - Marvin Rittmüller, Krauße, Bell Bell - Marie, Tempelmann - Philippe, Tachie
HSV starting XI
Heuer Fernandes - Mikelbrencis, Schonlau, Elfadli, Hefti - Karabec, Poręba, Richter - Sahiti, Selke, Dompé
Scherning on facing HSV
"HSV have rightfully established themselves up there. No other team in the Bundesliga 2 can boast such quality in every position. However, each player knows their role for Friday evening and we also know that nothing is impossible in football."
Polzin on facing Braunschweig
"We're aware of their qualities, especially after the first game this season. They know exactly what they're doing against the ball. Then they're also dangerous in transition because they have players with a lot of pace in their squad. I'm ready for this challenge, and the lads are too."
Golden Glatzel
In five competitive matches for Hamburg against Braunschweig, Robert Glatzel has scored seven goals (three braces in Bundesliga 2 and one in the DFB Cup).
Ever-present
Braunschweig's Fabio Kaufmann is the only player from either side to have featured in all seven second-division encounters between these sides. He's even managed to score in each of his last two visits to Volksparkstadion.
A long time coming
The last time Braunschweig bagged points at Hamburg was 49 years ago. In September 1976, under former coach Branko Zebec, they achieved a 2-0 away victory in the Bundesliga, with goals scored by Reiner Hollmann and Wolfgang Frank.
Strong at home against Braunschweig
Hamburg have won their last eleven home matches (eight of them in the Bundesliga) against Braunschweig, scoring 38 goals in the process. That's at least two per match.
Corner turned
After seven consecutive defeats in all competitions against Hamburg, Braunschweig won their last encounter 3-1. It could have been more, given Johan Gomez also failed to convert a penalty against Daniel Heuer Fernandes.
