Hamburger SV has hardly any realistic chances of direct promotion to the Bundesliga.

The North Germans parted from Karlsruher SC 1: 1 (0: 0) in the Volkspark Stadium at home on Thursday evening and are five points behind Greuther Fürth, second in the table, three game days before the end of the 2nd Bundesliga.

In addition, the third-placed hamburgers Holstein Kiel is in the neck with three games and only two points less than the hamburgers.

Simon Terodde scored the opening goal for the hosts against KSC with a margin after a hand penalty (56th minute), Daniel Gordon equalized with a head (57th).

HSV continued its desperate performance in the second half of the season.

The team has been without a win for five games, in the past twelve games HSV only managed two point threes and crashed from its comfortable position after a strong first half of the season.

Against Karlsruhe, the Hanseatic players only played for 30 minutes, went resolutely into the duels and looked more determined than last. But there was often a lack of precision. After the initial pressure phase, the hamburgers subsided. The guests, who with eight wins this season are among the strongest away teams in the league, did without early pressing and gave the hosts plenty of space. So Hamburg had more of the game, but without getting good chances. KSC, on the other hand, could have taken the lead through Marvin Wanitzek (33rd) - but he narrowly missed.

Trainer Daniel Thioune had increasingly relied on experienced forces, whom he believes will be more stable with the nervous strain in the ascent race.

"We have to be free in the pear," was his demand.

But even they could not give the broken game a line.

Terodde from the penalty spot had also shown nerves.

He scored his 21st goal of the season in the margin after goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck had initially parried.

The KSC also demonstrated its self-confidence with the supposed promotion favorites of this season.

In the third game within a week, Baden did not go top speed, but had the HSV attacks largely under control.

In the past eight games, they have only won one, but drawn six.
