Karlsruhe (dpa) - Thanks to his life insurance Simon Terodde, Hamburger SV continued its upward trend immediately before the mini winter break of the 2nd Bundesliga.

A late goal by the attacker in the 82nd minute secured HSV a 2: 1 (1: 1) victory at Karlsruher SC.

"Today the machine was back," said KSC trainer Christian Eichner on Sky about goal scorer Terodde.

"That's why Hamburger SV will also rise in the end."

It's not that far yet, but after three victories in a row, coach Daniel Thioune's team is starting the new year as second in the table and thus on a direct promotion position.

"A 2-1 win in the 82nd is three times nicer than a 4-0 win", said a delighted scorer Terodde.

"I'm sure they'll open another beer or two on the way back, then you can sleep better."

Karlsruhe, on the other hand, slipped closer to the relegation places after the third defeat.

Bakery Jatta (3rd minute) gave the guests an early lead in a fast-paced first round.

KSC striker Philipp Hofmann (14th) only managed to equalize in the meantime.

In the end, Hamburg also benefited from a controversial dismissal for Karlsruhe full-back Philip Heise, who saw yellow-red in the 77th minute.

Nevertheless, Hofmann (90 + 3) still had a great opportunity to equalize in stoppage time, but he failed from close range.

After two victories in a row, HSV started confidently in the Wildpark Stadium.

After just over two minutes, Jatta was allowed to march freely through midfield with the ball.

And because no KSC player attacked him, the 22-year-old simply shot on goal - and scored for the lead.

Jeremy Dudziak (6th / 34th), Simon Terodde (20th) and Khaled Narey (26th) could have topped it off early on in a fast-paced game, but gave some of the best chances.

Karlsruhe had lost twice in a row recently, but they benefited from the guests' offensive style of play.

Because the HSV was high, the people of Baden had room to counterattack.

Thanks to their speed, Malik Batmaz and Benjamin Goller in particular were able to find their way into these gaps again and again, which paid off early on.

After winning the ball in his own half, the ball quickly came to the debutant Batmaz, who crossed the HSV penalty area on striker Hofmann, who turned cold as usual.

Then a tough game developed - until Terodde struck again.

After a cross from Sonny Kittel, the attacker was in the penalty area and prevailed against two defenders.
