Match Report
Hamburger SV ended their home season with a spirited 3-2 win over an exhausted Freiburg, the game's fate sealed by two quickfire second-half goals.
Bakery Jatta opened on 14 minutes after an Otto Stange cross caught the visitors flat-footed, but Freiburg responded immediately — Igor Matanović equalising with a volley from Lukas Kübler's cross (16'). The teams went in level, and after the break HSV took control: Luka Vušković's free kick deflected off Maximilian Eggestein to restore the lead (65'), then substitute Fabio Baldé slotted home a third two minutes later (67'). Matanović grabbed a late consolation (87') to keep it interesting.
The victory lifts Hamburger SV into the top ten for the first time since 2016, finishing above both St. Pauli and Werder Bremen. For Freiburg, days after reaching the Europa League final, their hold on seventh place and Conference League qualification is increasingly uncertain.
