The second division football team suffered another setback in the promotion race for the Hamburger SV Bundesliga. The North Germans lost 2-1 (1-1) to 1. FC Nuremberg on Saturday evening.
Shortly before the end of the game, HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandez discovered how fast football can be. He was still the man of the match in the quarterfinals against Carlsroehr SC on Wednesday evening and became the saddest man in the 88th minute of the game in Nuremberg. He sent a tough shot from FCN professional Tim Handwerker into the goal. After a while it was over and HSV were without points in the second consecutive league game. The previous weekend saw a bitter defeat against Werder Bremen in the Northern Derby.

“Of course it would be very annoying if we fail with such a despicable goal,” Heuer Fernandez told the NDR. He described the situation as follows: “The striker plays in the middle, then shoots. The ball rises very flat in front of me. The pitch is new. But that’s not a reason. The ball lasted. It’s annoying. We lose like that.”
Walter did not want to hear about a setback. “We lost one game, but we have nine games,” the 46-year-old said. The way his team performed was great. He did not criticize his goalkeeper: “We will win together, we will fail together, so I gave nothing.”
