Overview
- Miro Muheim opened the scoring with a 30‑metre strike and Albert Grønbæk added a 27.5‑metre finish as Hamburger SV won 3-1 at the Volksparkstadion on Friday, November 6.
- The teams were level at 1-1 at half time after Joe Scally's equaliser, but Gladbach dropped to ten men when Ko Itakura received a yellow‑red card in the 49th minute.
- HSV exploited the numerical advantage: homegrown forward Shafiq Nandja scored his first Bundesliga goal to restore the lead before Grønbæk sealed the win.
- The match was played before a sell-out crowd of 57,000 and underlined Miro Muheim's long-range scoring form, while 17‑year‑old Wael Mohya — newly called up to the German squad — had a muted performance.
- The result leaves Borussia Mönchengladbach bottom with four points and moves HSV up the table, giving Hamburg momentum ahead of the international break and their next league trip to Werder Bremen.
