		Thank you for following the game with us, we have more Bundesliga action prepared for you today. The other game Freiburg hosting Frankfurt starts in less than ten minutes. Enjoy it! Until next time, goodbye. (17:23:06)
		Shots on goal: FCN 7, HSV 16 Fouls (offsides): FCN 16 (1), HSV 14 (1) Corners: FCN 5, HSV 4 Yellow cards: FCN 1, HSV 0 No red cards. Possessuion: FCN 52%, HSV 48%.
		Just as I though, there is no stopagge time, it wouldn't make any sense to add anything. HSV take a huge win over the home side Nurnberg with Lasogga scoring a hat-trick and Arslan adding another one on the empty goal. Van der Vaart opened the scoring earlier in the first half.
		Game over.
	90	We've reached the final minute of the game. We'll see how much will Markus Schmidt give stoppage, if any.
	89	A free kick from way out taken by Pekhart to the edge of the area is taken by a header straight to Adler's hands.
	88	Artjoms Rudnevs tries a one-touch from the left edge of the five-metre box and sees it wide to the right. But even if he scored it wouldn't count as he was offside.
	87	Hasebe with a solo effort from the left into the middle, encounters a defender and Nurnberg are forced to get the ball back all the way to their half.
	86	A corner kick to Nurnberg from the right side trying to get at least the consolidation goal.
	84	A standing ovation from HSV fans as Lasogga leaves the pitch to be replaced by Artjoms Rudnevs.
	83	Lasogga gets a through ball into the area sending a mid-high cross into the middle for Beister who tries a header directly into Schaefer. They were alone 2-on-1, and could have taken it better.
	81	Petr Jiracek will replace Tolgay Arlsan who played a fine display today, finishing it with a goal.
	80	HSV with the ball now circling around the penalty area before penetrating with a cross, taking the attack patiently.
	79	Hlousek is fouled at the byline on the left and remains down for a few moments but is back in play immediately.
		We've caught Felix Magath following the game in the VIP box.
	78	Another foul in mid-pitch on HSV player, Nurnberg are helpless.
	76	Emanuel Pogagetz gets booked for a tackle in middle pitch.
	74	Goal for Hamburg! TOLGAY ALI ARSLAN gets a gift from Schaefer who leaves the net to play the ball before the attacking player, sending the pass to the circle where Arslan fires on first touch before Schaefer could retrieve.
	74	HSV allow Nurnberg to have possession in their own half and play high pressure.
	72	Niklas Stark will come on as Hiroshi Kiyotake is replaced.
	71	Nothing special going on, Nurnberg try to recover from the shock, but HSV play solid defense and look for counters to eventually add another one.
	69	Badelj makes a sliding tackle on Markus Felulner who shows he's in pain, but that's due to his fall, the tackle was clean.
	67	Goal for Hamburg! A hat trick for PIERRE-MICHEL LASOGGA who intercepts a defensive pass inside the 25 metres away from the goal, places a precise shot to the right post, hits it and the ball bounces in.
	66	Markus Feulner will bring in some freshness as he replaces Frantz.
	65	HSV dominate completely in the last five minutes attacking from both sides and the middle.
	64	A few minutes ago I wanted to say how Nurnberg played good and put a lot of pressure and everyone present felt it and knew they were on the verge of scoring. Although it's true, I'm happy I didn't.
	63	Goal for Hamburg! Bad news for the home fans! A corner taken from the right side gets to the head of Djourou who eases the ball with a touch of the head and PIERRE-MICHEL LASOGGA awaits for it at the goal line to put it in with a single touch.
	62	Van der Vaart scoops up the ball at 20 metres distance, and tries his luck, but goes wide to the right.
	61	Maximilian Beister will come to replace Zoua, whom we didn't see much today.
	60	Goal for Hamburg! That's how you do it. HSV take the ball with a throw-in, quickly get it up front for van der Vaart in the middle, he runs for a few metres and sends a through ball for PIERRE-MICHEL LASOGGA on the right side of the box, who places a shot to the opposite side and scores to double the lead.
	59	Rene Adler left the net and made a sliding tackle for the ball while Nurnberg player ran past the defense on the left, the keeper never touched the player nor the ball, so the possession goes to HSV.
	58	Thomas Pekhart is whistled down for a foul inside the penalty box before Adler, after a throw-in deep from the left.
	57	It's Badelj again on the edge of the box taking an interception on a cross, Nurnberg will regroup from the centre line.
	55	A foul on Frantz on the right flank within the 30 metres from the goal. Pogatetz crosses it in, it bounces off into the air and straight to Adler's hands.
	54	Another corner by HSV, it's on the left. It's taken between the penalty spot and five-metre box , Westermann couldn't get his head on it.
	53	Drmic is onside on a pass though on the left flank, but the cross is not to the standard and easily picked by the defense.
	52	A corner taken from the right straight to the goal, too high and goes over the bar.
	52	Lassoga takes a tip in shot with his leg hight, though it's over the net but for a corner.
	51	Milan Badelj makes two crucial interceptions on the edge of the penalty box deflecting the passes out to the middle and stops Nurnberg from progressing further towards Adler.
	49	Schaefer is forced to make yet another save, Jansen gets the low cross in from the left flank for Lasogga, who takes a quick shot, Schaefer collects it at the left post.
	48	A through ball for van der Vaart into the box from outside on the right, it is a bit quick but the Dutch gets his grip on it with a slide, though it's an easy shot, more of a pass for Schaefer.
	47	Mike Frantz takes a shot from way out slightly to the right, no problme for Adler. Hasebe is furious on the other side as he was alone and could have taken it one-on-one.
	46	It seems there have neen no changes in the line-ups during the halftime. Nurnberg take the ball on the attack early on with Adam Hlousek, but can't find anyone free in the zone.
	46	Start of 2nd half.
		We're back for the second half at approx. 16:30 CET, 15:30 GMT.
		Shots on goal: FCN 2, HSV 6 Fouls (offsides): FCN 8 (1), HSV 9 Corners: FCN 2, HSV 1 Possession: FCN 59%, HSV 41%.
		No stoppage time, and the referee blows for halftime. A good first half display by both teams, they both had their flashes, but van der Vaart was the one who was lucky to score. The game could go either way, and only the second half will bring it to a close.
		1st halftime finished.
	45	Plattenhardt takes it in, the ball is deflected out but then another cross is sent for another corner.
	44	Corner kick for Nurnberg from the left side, their first today.
	43	A fine offensive passing display on the left side in front of the penalty area borderline, but then the slick pass to Kiyotake is a bit too fast.
	42	Kiyotake wants the send a through pass, but Calhanoglu anticipates it on the edge of the box.
	41	It could have easily been a penalty kick for the guests when they took the ball in and it hit the defender in his arm, though the referee doesn't think it was on purpose. It could have gone either way.
	40	A big opportunity for Nurnberg missed, after Drmic received a fine through pass catching it on the goal line to the right of the box, sends a back pass to Pekhart who can't put the ball in net but hists Rene Adler who is happy to deflect it out.
	38	HSV can't get the ball to the penalty box losing possession on the edge of the area, but then fouling an opposing player to stop the counter.
	37	Finally a change in possession, HSV will take the ball to the box...eventually.
	36	The home fans call for a penalty, but Djourou was on time with a tackle on Pekhart and hit the ball first, forcing Pekhart to fall over his legs after.
	35	Nurnberg with constant possession lately try to jeopardize the HSV lead, building on the attacks patiently, from the ground up.
	34	Hasebe sends a through pass from the centre circle to the left flank for Kiyotake who merely catches it running onto the ball, though the cross is taken too hard and goes out for a goal-kick.
	33	Hlousek leaves the ball on the left flank for Kiyotake to take it in, he goes to the goal line and into the box, but can't find a feed to the middle.
	32	Frantz is fouled as Nurnberg try to go on the offense.
	31	Hamburg build on the attack not rushing down but rather taking it easy and build from the beginning.
	30	Calhanoglu takes another shot as HSV take the initiative, the shot from the edge of the area on the right comes wide to the left.
	29	Jansen tries his luck from 25 metres away in the middle, Schaefer has no problems stopping it in the right low corner.
	28	The shot is taken directly on net to the right corner and Schaefer gets his hands on it, forcing it out for a throw on the right.
	27	Mike Frantz comitts a foul in the shooting zone, maybe 20 metres away to the left, so HSV will have a big chance.
	27	Rene Adler returned the ball to play with a goal-kick long to van der Vaart who is hit by the defender from the back who hits the header, no foul.
	26	Nurnberg put a lot of pressure on defense even when they don't have possession, and it pays off as HSV can't leave their side of the pitch.
	25	Chandler gets the ball in with a high cross from the right, though Drmic can't hit it surrounded by two defenders, and loses the ball.
	23	A foul is called on a HSV player on the right wing, so van der Vaart will take it into the zone, but hits no one and it's an easy job for Raphael Schaefer.
	22	Nurnberg take the ball on the attack with a throw-in inside the 20 metres on the right, but get closed soon, as the defense closes the gaps immediately.
	20	The home fans try to support their team even harder now when they're down. The game has calmed a bit, mostly taken in centre pitch.
	19	Nurnberg will open up a bit for sure as they progress forward, but this early goal must have come as a shock to them.
	17	Goal for Hamburg! A great cross to the middle from the right flank, the defense concentrates on two forwards in the area but forget about RAFAEL VAN DER VAART onrunning as a centre forward and he gets the ball all alone at the penalty spot taking a shot on sight, and it's a volley to the upper right. No chance for Schafer.
	16	Pogatetz and Schafer miscommunicated a defensive play and Pogatetz wants to clear the ball while the keeper gets out to collect it, but fortunately the defense manages to clear.
	15	After a few attempts to go on the attack by HSV, Nurnberg take the ball and get it up front for Josip Drmic on the right flank who comes to the middle but gets the through ground ball on the right of the box, for absolutely no one there.
	13	Van der Vaart takes the penalty from the right, but finds no one which give the defense the opportunity to clear the danger away.
	13	A corner kick, the first today, coming for HSV from the right side as a cross from the left was denied by the defense.
	12	Nurnberg goes down the pitch with the ball and Kiyotake wants to slide one past the defenders, though they're focused and Djourou makes the interception.
	11	A good cross is taken into the zone inside the five-metre area for Pekhart who runs onto it and tries a tip-in header, though it's a bit wide to the right.
	9	Drmic takes the ball down the pitch over the right flank and wants to cross but in the waning moments gets denied by a HSV defender, and the referee signals for a goal kick. Drmic wouldn't agree, neither would I, clearly a corner kick.
	8	Lassoga gets a fine through ball into the penalty area and runs onto it with two defenders on each side, so he was interfered a bit and his shot is direct into the goalkeeper.
	7	A hard pass backwards from Nurnberg and the keeper leaves the box to take it before it goes for a corner, gets it forward to the centre, but then the ref whistles for a foul.
	7	Adam Housek wants to get the ball into the middle, but misses the cross and the ball goes too far to the right side and out for a goal-kick.
	6	Kiyotake takes the ball at the centre and wants to go all the way down, but it seems he tripped Badelj on the way and will be ruled a foul.
	5	Pogatetz gets the ball up front on the left flank for Hlousek who takes it to the 20 metre area but steps out before making a cross.
	4	A foul comitted on Calhanoglu on the left side by the centre, so HSV have a free kick.
	3	Nothing interesting so far, the game is mostly in the centre pitch and the opposing teams are testing each other.
	2	First foul of the game from Josip Drmic on the offense and HSV restart.
	1	HSV will play in their white uniform, while Nurnberg use their red, home kits.
	1	Game started.
