Full-time: Frankfurt 1-2 Hamburg

A massive win for Hamburg that puts them on the verge of safety. They can no longer be relegated automatically. Goals from Grønbæk and Vieira have made the difference.

Kristensen sent off

The Dane catches Gocholeishvili late as he breaks forward and is given a second yellow card. It looks difficult for Frankfurt now.

Vieira fires Hamburg in front

Hamburg lead and it is far too easy. Grønbæk picks up the ball on the left under no pressure and chips a perfect pass into the path of Vieira in the box. He takes the ball on his chest before firing home with his left foot. Lovely finish!

Hamburg level immediately

After the initial corner is cleared to Omari, he whips the ball back into the box. A couple of players go up for the challenge and miss the ball, but it falls to Grønbæk at the back post. He sets himself well before drilling an effort towards the far post that somehow evades Skhiri on the line.

Uzun fires Frankfurt ahead

Hamburg once again gift Frankfurt possession, and this time they are punished. Burkardt's pass is dummied for Uzun, who bursts past the final defender before firing home.

Half-time: Frankfurt 0-0 Hamburg

It remains 0-0 at the break, and that is probably a fair scoreline. There haven't been a great deal of chances, with most efforts coming from range, including a Vieira strike that hit the bar. Hamburg have looked dangerous on the counter, but they have been guilty of gifting Frankfurt possession in dangerous positions.

Almost

A good cross into the box finds Burkardt, who controls it well, but Torunarigha is close enough to clear the danger.

Burkardt can't capitalise

Frankfurt pounce on another Hamburg mistake and break down the right through Knauff. He floats a cross to Burkardt, whose header across goal is cleared by Torunarigha before the Frankfurt striker fires the rebound over the bar.
39'

Another Uzun effort

Frankfurt play the corner short and combine neatly down the right to work Uzun a shooting position in the box, but once more, Heuer Fernandes is there to make an important stop.

Big chance

Hamburg give the ball away cheaply in a dangerous position, and Kalimuendo finds Burkardt on the edge of the box. He then feeds Uzun in the centre, but his shot on the spin is pushed behind for a corner by Heuer Fernandes.
37'

Will we see a goal before the break?

Perhaps surprisingly, Hamburg look the more likely.
31'

Not a bad effort

Jatta dips inside and tries his luck, but he slips whilst shooting, and his effort goes over the bar.

Off the bar!

Lokonga spins nicely on the edge of the box and shoots only to be denied by Zetterer. Then, a few moments later, Vieira unleashes a powerful drive from the edge of the box that crashes off the crossbar.

Drinks break

It's a hot day in Hamburg, and the players are taking a minute to rehydrate before we continue.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time

Chance wasted

Hamburg counter from a Frankfurt corner and suddenly Königsdörffer is one-on-one against the final defender. In the centre, Vieira is bursting free, but Königsdörffer's cross lands in the hands of Zetterer.

Uzun has a go

A bouncing ball drops to Uzun on the edge of the box, and his shot forces Heuer Fernandes into an important save.

Poor delivery

Jatta does brilliantly to work space against Brown before crossing, but his delivery floats straight out of play.

Hamburg being patient

Frankfurt team news

Meanwhile, Riera makes two changes as Knauff and Burkardt replace Amaimouni-Echghouyab and Arrhov in the starting XI. That'll likely see Kalimuendo move out to a slightly wider position in the Frankfurt formation.
camera-photo

Hamburg team news

It's just the one change for Hamburg as Sambi Lokonga returns to the starting XI, having made his injury comeback last time out. He replaces Mikelbrencis, who is not in the squad. The other good news for Hamburg is that Vušković is fit enough to make the bench.

Frankfurt subs

Santos, Kristensen, Theate, Arrhov, Götze, Chaïbi, Amaimouni-Echghouyab, Bahoya, Ebnoutalib

Hamburg subs

Tangvik, Gocholeishvili, Vušković, Elfadli, Dompé, Philippe, Poulsen, Downs, Stange

How can Hamburg confirm safety?

Should HSV beat Eintracht Frankfurt and both Wolfsburg and St. Pauli fail to win, then Polzin's charges will secure top flight football for 2026/27.

Albert Riera on facing Hamburg

"Football is a beautiful game and the goal of being able to play in Europe next season is a beautiful one. We have three finals ahead of us, three different games and as I always say, every games requires specific personnel."

Merlin Polzin on facing Frankfurt

"Frankfurt haven't had the best of seasons this term, but we're still facing a side who reached the Champions League with their current squad and have reached a whole new level in recent years. I'm really looking forward to what will be a high-octane encounter in a fantastic atmosphere. Ideally, we'll get a positive result."

Unwanted record for Polzin?

Hamburg are winless in six games and have lost their last three on the bounce. However, they've never lost four in a row under Merlin Polzin.
