Sensational performance by the Red Devils

Early pressure from HSV, but FCK with the better chances
The Rothosen started the game with a lot of pressure and had the first chance of the game through Robert Glatzel (3rd minute). However, FCK goalkeeper Andreas Luthe was on hand to make the save. The Red Devils then gradually gained a foothold in the game and had the better chances. Boyd (12th minute) and Marlon Ritter (20th minute) both had good opportunities, but they were unable to beat HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes.
Terrence Boyd breaks the deadlock
After the break, FCK came out of the dressing room with renewed vigour. And it wasn't long before they took the lead. In the 50th minute, Boyd received a pass from Ritter and slotted the ball past Heuer Fernandes into the far corner. The Fritz-Walter-Stadion erupted in jubilation.
Opoku seals the victory
FCK continued to press for a second goal and were rewarded in the 71st minute. Opoku was played through by Boyd and made no mistake, firing the ball into the roof of the net. The Red Devils now had a comfortable lead and were able to see out the remaining minutes of the game without any major problems.
Conclusion
The victory against HSV was a big step for FCK in the relegation battle. The Red Devils are now in 14th place in the table, four points ahead of the relegation zone. HSV, on the other hand, missed the chance to move up to third place and remain in fourth place.
