The midfielder is punished for time-wasting after kicking the ball away.

Königsdörffer comes on
The forward, who scored 14 times in 2.Bundesliga last season, enters the fray for HSV. How they could do with some magic from him in these final few minutes...

HSV have plenty of time left to try and level the game. They going to have to brave the conditions, though, as snow continues to fall in Freiburg.

Manzambi comes alive
The youngster has looked very sharp in the last 10 minutes. He creates another decent chance for Metanović, whose shot is well blocked.
73'
Better from Freiburg
After a cross from Manzambi, Matanovic heads the ball wide from a great position. It's another wasted opportunity for Freiburg...
69'
Hamburg coping well with 10 men
The momentum may be with the hosts, but HSV look well organised in the second-half. Freiburg have lacked penetration in the final third since the equaliser.
65'
Double change from Schuster
Osterhage and Matanović are on for Freiburg, who look the more likely team to get a winner. Meanwhile, Hamburg stopper Fernandes is still receiving treatment on his shoulder.

Vuškovic booked
The goalscorer picks up a yellow for a late challenge on Grifo. He'll have to watch his step now.

Jatta flashes a shot wide
It's determined play from the midfielder, who powers his way into the Freiburg box, but can't steer his shot on target from a very acute angle.
57'
Defensive change for HSV
Centre-back Torunarigha replaces the dangerous Dompé. Merlin Polzin looks to be trying to tighten things up at the back.

Viera's free-kick is saved
It's a decent effort from the technical midfielder, but Atubolu pushes it out well to safety.
43'
Yellow for Lienhart
The Freiburg defender rather cynically bundles Remberg to the ground on the edge of his own box. Chance here for Hamburg from the free-kick...
40'
Sidenetting from Capaldo
The defender is played through and shoots from a tight angle. His effort isn't too far away from testing Atubolu.
38'
Brave goalkeeping from Atubolu!
Downs finds himself with some space to run into in the Freiburg box. However, his touch is a tad loose, allowing Atubolu to bravely collect the ball. More positive from HSV, who are growing into the game.
32'
Bright moments from Dompe
It's been tough-going for HSV in the first-half, but Dompe has provided one or two moments of joy down the left channel. He is proving to be a very useful outlet for the besieged away side.

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Freiburg denied again!
Höler is beautifully played through on goal by Treu, but Fernandes stands tall and blocks the striker's effort. It's all Freiburg so far.
15'
Suzuki shoots from range
The forward looks lively so far, and tests Fernandes with a shot from the edge of the Hamburg box. It's saved – and spilt – by the keeper, but he is able to collect the loose ball.

Kübler hits the bar!

Nervy moments for the visitors!
A clever cross from Ginter causes some uncertainty in the Hamburg backline. His ball drifts just wide of Fernandes' post.

Early yellow for Elfadli
We're only a few minutes in, but the first Hamburg player is in the referee's book. Elfadli gets in a tangle with Suzuki on the ground and is penalised.

We're underway in 2026!
Freiburg get the ball rolling for the first time this year. Hamburg are in their changed all-black away kit.
Kick-off!
Table talk
Freiburg can move up to 10th place with a win today and to within a point of 9th place Hamburg. By contrast, the visitors will be hoping to leapfrog Union Berlin in 8th, as a single point separates the two sides. Union host bottom side Mainz at Stadion An der Alten Försterei this afternoon.

Hamburg come out to warm-up
More on those teams
Hosts Freiburg recall veteran winger Vincenzo Grifo, who only made the bench last time out against Wolfsburg. Patrick Osterhage is among the substitutes as a result, while the familiar pairing of Yuito Suzuki and Lucas Höler spearhead the attack. Hamburg, meanwhile, hand a debut to USA international Damion Downs, recently signed on loan from Southampton.
