- About 2,000 Werder supporters set off from S‑Bahnhof Othmarschen at noon, with other local reporting estimating up to 4,000 participants.
- Hamburg police confirmed the escorted march proceeded without incidents.
- HSV’s team bus arrived shortly before 14:00 to heavy blue smoke, pyrotechnics and fireworks.
- Werder’s bus reached the arena at 14:08 via a different route under police escort and drove directly into the underground garage.
- Loud boos met the Werder bus, but no objects were thrown, a contrast with some past Nordderby arrivals.
