It has never been more important than today!
Sonny Kittel (29) was the key to the 2-0 win in the tight and competitive top game between HSV and the strong Heidenheimers.
The playmaker dusted off a top combination between Robert Glatzel (28), Bakery Jatta (23) and Faride Alidou (20) to take the lead 1-0 (64th). An important chest solver in the thriller against the FCH.
In the 5-0 triumph at top team Darmstadt last week, Kittel was still missing due to a yellow card suspension. Now the technician was back, was spot on, and used one of Hamburg’s few chances cold as ice.
But that was not all! 14 minutes later, Kittel added a second. The Hamburg playmaker coldly converted a foul penalty to make it 2-0 (78th).
With 14 points from six games, HSV is still in the running for promotion. For Heidenheim it is the first bankruptcy in the last eight games.
