HSV loses to Leipzig despite a strong performance – drama at the post!
On October 18, 2025, Hamburger SV played against RB Leipzig and was defeated 1-2. Despite a strong performance and the previous series of three Bundesliga games without defeat, which brought HSV seven points, the three points remained in Leipzig. Before the match, RB Leipzig said goodbye to its striker Yussuf Poulsen with an impressive choreography and gifts, a sign of appreciation for the player who is now only used sporadically.
Until this game, Poulsen had only played 50 minutes in the Bundesliga and was substituted on for his teammate Königsdörffer in the 76th minute. In a game that was played intensively by both sides, Christoph Baumgartner managed to score twice for Leipzig and thus make the decisive difference. He scored the first goal in the 45th minute, just before the half-time whistle, giving the hosts a 1-0 lead.

Hamburger SV then pushed for an equalizer, but were unlucky when Jean-Luc Dompé hit the outside post in the 71st minute. Despite further efforts and an identical emphasis, HSV remained unaccountable and had to start the return journey without any points. Leipzig, on the other hand, managed their narrow lead until the final whistle, which meant an important victory for them.
