Sandhausen (AP) - Hamburger SV threatens to gamble away the longed-for return to the Bundesliga again.
The 1: 2 (0: 0) on Thursday at the penultimate SV Sandhausen meant the third winless game and the second defeat in a row.
Even the critical situation of the people of Baden-Württemberg, who only started training again on Monday after a two-week quarantine, could not be used by the favorite in his favor.
«The sand houses wanted to give their lives in the square.
They knew that they had to blow everything out.
That was the difference, ”said HSV coach Daniel Thioune on Sky TV.
"We certainly lack stability in our heads and also on the pitch."
An own goal by Stephan Ambrosius (46th minute) initiated the Hamburg defeat, Daniel Keita-Ruel (52nd) followed up for Sandhausen.
Manuel Wintzheimer's goal (76th) came too late.
"We did not take place for the first 60 minutes, we did not contest the duels that you have to contest," said HSV keeper Sven Ulreich.

After the front runner VfL Bochum had previously won 2-0 at 1. FC Heidenheim and their closest rival SpVgg Greuther Fürth had solved their task with a 3-0 win at Eintracht Braunschweig on Tuesday, Hamburg could reach the goal of the season four points behind a direct promotion spot miss for the third time in a row.
Even in the early stages, the North Germans had big problems against the home-strong SVS.
Hamburg not only missed many basic virtues, it also had to change early.
Bakery Jatta was unable to continue playing due to an injury.
For him came Amadou Onana (15th).
But the substitution did not improve anything in the game of the guests.
Sandhausen never presented himself as a candidate for relegation.
The only drawback: The home side initially failed to reward themselves after 6-0 corners and 11-2 shots on goal in the first half.
That changed 18 seconds after the break.
Ambrosius headed the ball into his own goal after a Julius Biada cross, and just six minutes later Keita-Ruel made it 2-0.
"If we all work together, then we'll do it," said SVS captain Dennis Diekmeier.

The HSV only woke up late.
But there was no avoiding more than the follow-up goal from Wintzheimer.
The Hamburgers are now temporarily moving into a quarter in Herzogenaurach and will be performing at SSV Jahn Regensburg on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky).
The pressure doesn't decrease, on the contrary: In order to keep the outcry among the fans and the criticism of coach Daniel Thioune as quiet as possible, points are urgently needed.
This also applies to the SVS in the final sprint, which is aiming for another step towards relegation against his ex-coach Kenan Koack and Hannover 96.
