Düsseldorf (AP) - Hamburger SV has defended the table lead in the second Bundesliga despite the second winless game in a row.
On Saturday, the team of coach Daniel Thioune did not get past a 0-0 despite a clear superiority in the top game against SpVgg Greuther Fürth.
A controversial yellow-red card against Fürth's Sebastian Ernst (57th) was of no use to the hosts.
On the previous day of the match, HSV had only drawn 3: 3 at Erzgebirge Aue.
“We were the better team for over 90 minutes, even before the red card.
However, luck was not on our side today, ”complained HSV attacker Aaron Hunt.

After 21 games, Hamburg are the first to be level on points (42) with Holstein Kiel, who happily won 1-0 against the Würzburger Kickers on Friday evening.
On Sunday, the top duo with the same points could become a trio if VfL Bochum wins against Eintracht Braunschweig.
Fürth follows with 39 points.
Behind them is the Karlsruher SC (36) also still promising.
The KSC had to use energy on Saturday at SV Sandhausen, who was threatened with relegation.
Philipp Hofmann (46th minute) and Kyoung-Rok Choi (53rd / 76th) turned a 2-0 break in the third from bottom into a win.
Kevin Behrens (30th) and Patrick Schmidt (40th) had shot the third from last from Sandhausen in the front.

As seventh in the table, Fortunes are six points behind the promotion ranks.
"From my point of view, it's a tad too little, but a fair draw," said Düsseldorf's defender André Hoffmann on Sky.
"We have to win again as soon as possible."
In the 2-0 (1-0) of 1. FC Heidenheim against Aue, the guests did not benefit from two saved penalties from their goalkeeper Martin Männel.
