3 – 2
“Bakery Jatta fired HSV into the lead with a right-footed finish from close range, assisted by Albert Grønbæk, capitalising on sustained Freiburg defensive disorganisation following a handball and a series of set-piece situations.”
Pivotal“Freiburg hit back almost immediately as Igor Matanovic equalised just two minutes after conceding, restoring parity and setting up a feisty first half.”
Pivotal“Luka Vuskovic stepped up to curl a precise free-kick into the right corner after Maximilian Eggestein fouled Fábio Vieira just outside the box, giving HSV a lead they would not relinquish.”
Pivotal“Substitute Fabio Baldé made an instant impact, finishing coolly from the right side of the box into the right corner, assisted by Nicolai Remberg, to make it 3-1 just two minutes after coming on — a hammer blow to Freiburg's hopes.”
Pivotal“Matanovic rose to head home Vincenzo Grifo's corner delivery into the left corner, pulling Freiburg back to 3-2 and setting up a nervy final three minutes for HSV's defence.”

Outstanding performance
SC Freiburg•AttackerHamburger SV's afternoon at the Volksparkstadion was defined by a devastating ten-minute second-half spell that turned a tightly contested match into a comfortable cushion. The opening exchanges were breathless — Bakery Jatta broke the deadlock inside 14 minutes only for Igor Matanovic to level almost immediately — but the game's true character emerged after the hour mark. Luka Vuskovic's free-kick on 64 minutes restored the lead, and Fabio Baldé, introduced just minutes earlier as a substitute, rifled home a third within two minutes to effectively end the contest. HSV's clinical edge was striking given the statistics: they managed just 14 shots to Freiburg's five, yet fashioned three big chances and converted them with ruthless efficiency, while Freiburg's superior possession — 53 percent — translated into precious little. Matanovic's late header gave Freiburg a consolation and a tense finish, but the result consolidates HSV's European push from seventh place, while Freiburg's inability to convert their attacking moments will be a concern for a side still searching for mid-table security.
