Overview
- Miro Muheim scored in the 88th minute to turn a largely contested match into a 1–0 victory for Hamburger SV.
- VfB Stuttgart controlled the opening phase with several early shots, but key interventions kept the score level until the late breakthrough.
- VfB goalkeeper Dennis Seimen produced crucial saves, including a fingertip stop that kept Stuttgart in the game after a Poulsen attempt struck the bar.
- HSV players warmed up wearing injured captain Nicolai Remberg’s number and the Nordkurve backed the team with a choreo and pyrotechnics before 57,000 fans; Robert Hartmann was the referee.
- The result is HSV’s second home win of the season, moves them to ninth in the table, and offers a short‑term lift in momentum that will be tested in coming fixtures while Remberg remains sidelined.
