What. A. Match. In the end, one player made all the difference, as Felix Klaus struck the first hat-trick of his professional career. With this defeat, Hamburg spectacularly missed out on the title.

That must be the equaliser!
The newly substituted Rössing-Lelesiit suddenly finds himself completely unmarked in front of Noll and should really just have to tap the ball in from point-blank range. However, the ball bobbles a bit too much, causing the Norwegian to miss the target. Unbelievable!

HSV were the better team for most of the half, but were unlucky in front of goal. Fürth initially struggled, but defended attentively and took the lead shortly before half-time through Klaus. Currently, HSV's title celebration is in jeopardy with Cologne leading 2-0 against Kaiserslautern, also at half-time.

Fürth take the lead!
Quarshie delivers a long throw-in into the box, where the ball bounces past virtually everyone on the pitch. At the far post, Klaus' shot hits Muheim, who is already on the ground. The ball comes back to the midfielder, who tries again with even more power at the second attempt, and he ruthlessly smashes it under the crossbar.

Too unselfish!
Fürth manage to create some space for the first time, which Hrgota exploits well with a clever pass to the unmarked Asta. However, he wants to play the ball back into the centre when a shot would probably have been the better option, albeit from a tight angle. There was more in that for the Cloverleaves!

Glatzel is played in down the left. The low pass into the middle also looks promising, but Reis' first touch is not good - the ball bounces off his foot and trickles away harmlessly.

For the first time since Matchday 8, the HSV striker is back in the first XI. In October, he suffered a tendon rupture and was subsequently out for months. Since returning in March, he has been used as a substitute eight times.
Starting opportunity for Jung
The former Hamburg player is in the starting line-up for the first time since Matchday 19 (a 4-2 home defeat against Kaiserslautern).

Selke only on the bench
HSV coach Merlin Polzin makes four changes from the 6-1 home victory against Ulm - Schonlau, Karabec, Baldé and Glatzel play in place of Königsdörffer (not in the squad), Poręba, Sahiti and Selke (all on the bench).
Three changes for the Cloverleaves
Manager Thomas Kleine makes three changes to his starting line-up from the 1-1 draw in Hannover - Asta, Consbruch and Jung come in for Green, Münz and Kasper (all on the bench).

Fernandes - Mikelbrencis, Schonlau, Elfadli, Muheim - Meffert - Karabec, Reis - Baldé, Glatzel, Dompé

Kleine's statement
"We will go into this game against Hamburg and we want to win it. We need to cover a lot of ground, be prepared to push ourselves to the limit, and work together as a team, which is what we did in Hannover as well."

Potential Championship Ceremony
Should current league leaders Hamburg secure the title, DFL managing director Steffen Merkel will present the Bundesliga 2 trophy on Monday, 19 May, in Hamburg. This would be a first Bundesliga 2 trophy for Hamburg.
Merlin Polzin's thoughts
"No one needs to motivate us for Sunday's match. We are still competitors and we want to win the league. Even though our main goal has already been achieved, we still want to have a photo with the championship trophy at the end."

Reunion with his former club
In HSV's last Bundesliga match seven years ago - a 2-1 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach - Gideon Jung played the full 90 minutes for the Red Shorts. He made 78 appearances in the top flight and 55 in the second tier for Hamburg. In the summer of 2021, Jung then made the switch from HSV to Fürth.
Brace and a debut goal
In meeting earlier in the season, Hamburg were already leading by three goals after just 11 minutes had gone with the match ending. Davie Selke scored twice for HSV, while the then 17-year-old Otto Stange netted his first professional goal.
Positive record
HSV have lost only one of their last 16 competitive matches against Fürth, with eight wins and seven draws. In the 2014 relegation play-offs too, the Red Shorts prevailed on the away goals rule, having played out a 0-0 draw at home and a 1-1 draw away.
