Overview
- Borussia Dortmund’s X account posted a flippant message more than an hour before kickoff asking if HSV’s stadium clock still existed and what it showed.
- The match at the Volksparkstadion ended 1:1 after Ransford‑Yeboah Königsdörffer struck a very late equalizer in the 90+7 minute.
- After the final whistle HSV replied on X that their clock showed 90+7 when the ball went in, directly answering Dortmund’s pre‑game jab.
- SPORT1 and WAZ characterized the exchange as a backfire for Dortmund, with HSV’s reply drawing about 5,000 likes and more than 100 comments and no further response from BVB.
- HSV’s famous clock had tracked top‑flight membership until the 2018 relegation, later showed the 1887 founding year, and was removed in 2019 after sustained mockery.
