Düsseldorf (dpa) - In the end, Hamburger SV was able to thank its goalkeeper.
Despite a superior game by the sovereign second division leader, HSV could have lost the game at Fortuna Düsseldorf in stoppage time.
Substitute Brandon Borello failed with a header to Sven Ulreich, who saved his team from a last-minute defeat after the greatest goal opportunity of the game.
"He deserved this save," said his coach Daniel Thioune, who could live well with the draw and the eighth game in a row without defeat.
"If you get a point with the strongest team in the league at home, then you can agree with it - even if there would have been more in the first half," said Thioune.
Ulreich struggled a little with the 0-0.
«In the first half we showed a very mature, really good performance.
We should have taken more with us from this phase of the game, unfortunately we weren't rewarded, ”said the HSV keeper.

The eagerly awaited top game was less of a spectacle than the 3: 3 match between Düsseldorf and SpVgg Fürth four days earlier in the same place.
"It was a very tactical game for us," said Fortuna's trainer Uwe Rösler, who is still undefeated with his team at home and has not lost in nine games.
«We couldn't engage in an open exchange of blows against these opponents - then you'll go home with three or four goals conceded.
In this respect, we played the way you have to play to score points in games like this, ”said the Düsseldorf coach.
However, the Bundesliga relegated team fell back to fifth despite winning points through the simultaneous victory in Fürth.
“Our next game at the Würzburger Kickers on Friday will show what the point is worth,” said Rösler.
